every single one of those 10 photos is literally just women going about their day and the comments is nothing but gooners shocked to learn that iran has hot women too, and now that their attractive women arent covering up, suddenly westoids see the humanity in these people.

every “(middle eastern country) isnt as bad as we’re told” post on the default reddits is exactly like this. on the flip side there’s the “look, (middle eastern country) used to have lots of hot women til islam came along!” posts about afghanistan etc

just seems disgusting to me. they don’t care at all about these people. they’re just fantasizing that maybe somehow they can take advantage of global tensions and somehow end up with a hot iranian wife

On a side note, is there much info on the dress code in Iran? From what I can see, it's mainly about covering your legs from the ankles up, covering arms from the elbows up, and covering the top of your head if you're a woman. And even then I imagine foreigners get less hassle.

Like, all of the pictures of Iranian women in Chabod (the typically-black head-to-toe covering) is purely exploiting for propaganda purposes the women who congregate in their choice of clothing.

Those women have more autonomy over their appearance and modesty than a lot of women do in the west. We may not have formal religious or moral police, but instead we have at least a third of society who harass, assault, and ---- women deemed "not modest enough". We have recreated modesty police culturally yet talk of liberating women into our own fucked up systems of misogyny.
