Iran: oppressing women, religion, wasting ressources, limp dick
USA: praising women, rational thought, outperforming, big potent dick
To me this looks like binary construction of reality, wich helps to avoid critique of your own society by externalizing it on the outside. Just an idea, but this might be interesting to consider: How is the US doing on "praising women" lately? How about bad decisions being justified with religion? Directing ressources? (Distribution of wealth)
And does the Penis metaphor actually help you to find an adequate critical stance to politics and your society?
Will this way of going about critique/understanding of our societies help us?
Maybe, does it help the permaboner, christian, antifeminist, billionairfriendly "performers"?
You have a strange fixation on dicks
I picked up that theme in the post I'm referring to. It fits the western narrative of potency
Not sure what the U.S has to do with this but you're right. All religious people should be put in asylums.
Same answer, see the post I'm referring to
