    Yeah good thing the US respects women’s autonomy and isn’t being strangled by a fundamentalist religious movement that wants to force women to be nothing more than incubators, maids, and fuck toys…😒

      Most of us do respect womens autonomy. I know I taught my daughter that. The loud mouth weaklings don’t. They hate that women don’t have to spread on command.

        I couldnt give a single flying fuck if “most of you” are such good people that you’d willingly live in a militant feminist matriarchy; the fact is our enemy is not Iran or it’s people and you’re here patting yourself on the ass for having the literal minimum level of decency expected of a father

      Both of you are right but there’s definitely levels to how much worse it is in Iran

        Different doesn’t necessarily equate to worse. The IR does oppress women, without a doubt; but American society exploits young women’s sexuality for financial gain, psychologically manipulates them into prohibitive gender norms that are impossible to achieve without vast amounts of wealth and privilege, and then tells them the most important thing they can aspire to be is mother to a man’s offspring.

        In short, you, your society, and your government are not as different-and clearly not any better-from any other in the world.

          A lot of this comment hinges on your belief that US women are not intelligent enough to to understand that exploitation and manipulation. Knowledge has progressed a lot in the last 20 years. Look at the under 18 and 20-24 age groups here

          There are much better examples of the subjugation of women in the US right now than to pin the societal oppression on US’ fostering of an anti intellectual society.

            I’m curious to hear how you’ve managed to extract my alleged beliefs that American women are ignorant of their situation from my rhetoric. I can only assume you either severely misinterpreted what I wrote to fit your conclusion, or you’re intentionally being provocative to elicit a reaction. Either way, your statistic shows that while younger women are having less children, the women that do pursue parenthood are simply delaying it into their 30s (possibly a function of more demanding careers and increasing inequality)

            I’m sure there are more substantial and academic examples that speak to whatever the heck you are trying to say, but the fact remains that the US IS fostering anti-intellectualism as a vector to sow distrust, normalize authoritarian governance, and further undermine American democratic institutions. Deluding yourself into thinking that it’s not happening or it’s not as bad as it seems is dangerous to women, to immigrants, to trans people, and to the pursuit of scientific knowledge.

        Iran has more FEMALE engineers than the US and less of it’s population in jail.
        Iran’s healthcare has been rated excellent by UNICEF.
        I could continue, but facts can’t win from the propaganda machine online.
        So I’m just gonna laugh make fun of it.

          The freedom of both women and the general public is not solely dictated by healthcare and the ability to attain higher education.

          Does a free society cut off country wide access to the external internet?

          Iran is actively lying to its citizens saying they destroyed the US base in Qatar and there was minimal damage to Iranian nuclear facilities. Both outright lies. This is not a free golden society.

          How many women are persecuted from laws around the head dressing and other clothing related issues.

          Boiling womens rights down to they can become an engineer and have good healthcare is laughably pathetic and on the verge of being a conservative talking point I would hear on fox news in justification for stripping away more rights. Pinning the struggle of US women against Iranian women is an incredibly pathetic mindset that only fosters negativity.

                One day your mummy will teach you to look up easily verifiable facts, other people can do that already right now and see everything I said was accurate and you’re just a weak propaganda tool throwing insults and slander.
