Young Iranians dance to protest regime | DW News

It's been almost seven months since the death of a young woman in police custody sparked the biggest anti-regime protests in Iran in decades. Meanwhile, mass protests might have become less common, but resistance has taken different forms: Many Iranians are openly breaking the Islamic Republic's strict rules - despite the risks. DW met a young woman who knows all too well what that means.

@天月🌚 "The West?" You mean the idea of individual autonomy free from humans oppressing other humans based on gender is only for HUMANS based on geography?!? Also, is the West also East? Because you seem to leave out ALL of East Asia, Turkey, SOUTH AMERICA, Polynesia, half of the African continent. . . So what you mean is that a small part of the human population are still living in the stone-ages (Babylon) when female humans were considered property because of their genitalia.

There is an old story that says one day a king was afraid of people's attention to his country's shortages, so he brought up the issue with his minister, who ordered that farting be banned in the country and anyone who farted would be severely punished. Gradually, people became sensitive to this issue, and it got to the point where secret gatherings were formed in the country where people would come together and fart. The king was pleased with his minister's solution and praised him for it.

The Iranian government is not going to budge on this, you can thank the belief in divine revelation for this. That's all it takes for billions of people throughout thousands of years they treat their own people like this, it just takes a single person who convinces everyone around them that they spoke to a spirit or deity in private when no one else was around to verify the truthfulness of the claim, you'll get credulous people who will buy into this garbage and then it spreads like a virus.

That men take away the rights of women is far more telling of their weakness, than the women. Funny how women are able to look at a men uncovered, watch a man as he dances, sings, etc and don't lose control of their senses.
