            Yeah it will indiscriminately hurt Iranians and Americans and not our rulers. We were both already suffering under our leaders before the American government decided to go to war with 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.

                  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.

                    “The freedom of both women and the general public is not solely dictated by healthcare and the ability to attain higher education”
                    I never said that, just mentioned one of those still important facts to show they’re better than the US of which I could also mention many more horrible facts.

                    Freedom is also not defined by wearing a heascarf or not.
                    Neither does your cherrypicking about access to the external internet.
                    A temporary measure in time of war, is that the best you got?

                    And just check my comments from yesterday, turns out I was 100% right.

                    Iran did indeed a symbolic attack on bases evacuated 5 days ago, even reported then and they gave the USSA warning.
                    I also said Iran needed the symbolic attack to sell to their people as revenge.
                    As I predicted in that comment the theatre of BOTH symbolic attacks, the USSA one and the Iranian one are over just to get the ultimate goal:
                    Pissrahell can have its way out of a losing war since the imaginary nuclear threat is imaginary bombed. And what do you know, just after this they have a ceasefire.
                    Unfortunate actually that Iran let them off the hook.
                    Was going great and heartwarming images from occupied Palestine.
                    See, you don’t understand geopolitics and its optics.
                    But then again, that’s not your job, spouting(easily debunked)crappy lies and propaganda is.

            While there are religious extremists in Iran, their level of influence on Iranian culture is not anywhere near what you’re saying. You’re just repeating western propaganda.

            They did have a controversial new dress code law that was supposed to go into effect at the end of last year, but it was blocked for being to extreme and vague.

            However, my state just forced a brain dead woman to incubate a baby against the family’s will. So I’m inclined to agree with those saying the religious extremists exercise greater control in the US than Iran, and by your standards that means they should bomb us. Because I guess you think killing people is equal to freeing them.

      Not really. Most people around the world are pretty much in the same boat. The “leaders” of governments try to propagandize differences, but everyone is living the same shitty existence. Elites vs poors across the globe. Occasionally you get groups that are extremely radical, but it’s not specific really to any country (We see a lot of out of the ME and Africa mostly due to prolonged Colonial abuse, admittedly.)
