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
I guess the difference here is that I genuinely believe the true believers were the norm; true believers both men AND women. As for the rigid structure limiting the imagination of the conformists, even today we have structures of our own limiting our own imaginations and we're content with these, just as they were content with their own structure. The meme reflects the average lady back in puritan times, not the iconoclast.
You're right that they're not forced into that choice by the dominant culture, and with that freedom of choice what choice are they making? They're not being forced into this choice and they're choosing to live like this, what then do you think when you have a puritanical society where everyone is that devout?
