different conditions, and it isn’t a good time nor does it make sense, maybe a few years ago during the hijab protests, but now I don’t think I’ve heard of a major incident recently? I don’t know anything about that girl, but the timing works to deligitimize Iran to the world and it deligitimizes feminism to Iran during a time when it’s the main force against an ongenocide, I can see it being wrecker behaviour.
IIRC it was a protest against some University’s dress code or something. Good for her for speaking up you know but it is just so obvious why western media is having a run with this while Muslim women get dictated what to wear in western countries too. As always with the Muslim women debate, women’s right are rarely the highlighted part. Only when it serves bourgeois interests. My coworkers are fighting to be able to wear hijabs but get shunned by the same media who are calling this woman a hero for doing the exact same. The hypocrisy is immense.

Which shows that this was never about freedom for women to dress however they want. I don’t know how it is in the US but all over Europe Muslim women have to constantly fight against societal and sometimes legal discrimination against wearing the hijab. Even when the state doesn’t get involved like it does in France, you still have to deal with other people around you looking at you with either fear or disgust and treating you differently because of how you choose to dress, not to mention the fact that sometimes there are outright physical attacks. Westerners don’t want women to dress the way women want, they want women to dress the way western men want them to.
