I’ve not checked the legitimacy of the photo, but the premise is important to note
You don’t need Iran to prove that. Women’s rights have already been rolled back in the US, it’s a mistake to assume it will stop here.
Also the Seven Mountain Dominion founding members saw Iran as a goal, but the islam replaced with christianity.
This is a picture from Afghanistan before 1970:
Lord that’s depressing
What is this post even about, Iran still has female parliamentarians and female commissioners and even female ministers sometimes.
They are a counterintuitive leftist-islamist hybrid, they are also Shia and most of your stereotypes about Islam are from Sunnis.
The rights that have been rolled back are about clothing, which doesn’t radically differ from West-approved Saudi Arabia or new Syria.
Saying that Iran is more democratic than the USA might be an overstatement, but I’m not sure it’s much less.
Stop! You’re fucking with their narrative…
This photo has some veracity to it; here’s a CBC article about one of those female parliamentarians;
Not great… but how many genocides are they committing right now? OP isnt exactly wrong, but its an awkward time to be pointing fingers in my opinion. Are we going to send them a sternly worded memo about human rights violations?
What are you even trying to get at? They are pointing out how easy it is for women’s rights to be stripped back down to nothing which a lot of people in the US seem to think is impossible where as iran displays how quickly it can happen. It’s literally calling out how shit the US is. Like, are you trying to imply iran as it is today is some bastion of human rights that we should be idolizing? if that is the case your just an absolute fucking moron.
I was pretty darn clear in my comment. Pretend you dont know what I meant if thats your thing.
In my country there’s a guy running for president who wants to revoke women’s right to vote. He is not super popular in the pools, but for some mad reason both my sisters support him.
edit: I’m keeping the typo
The current secretary of defense of the US just made a post arguing for revoking women’s right to vote, among other things. The supposed leader of ‘the free world’. And the Europeans still call Trump daddy.
We’ll probably be looking at pictures of US women in a couple of decades and wondering how it could turn into a shit hole.
What is the mad reasoning? I’m curious.
one doesn’t believe he will actually do it, the other one, idk
“aww, but he is a nice leopard! So we’ll spoke, so handsome. He wouldn’t eat my face”
At a guess… propaganda?
Even the rubber stamp parliament of the Shah had less women. Ffs, women gained the right to vote only in 1967! And there are currently 17 women in the Iranian parliament. Abysmal, but still far ahead of the era in the picture. That’s not even mentioning the extremely low levels of education among women pre-revolution. Don’t fall for this kind of propaganda, there’s more to women’s rights than getting to wear mini skirts as an urban elite. Women are still fighting for equal rights in Iran, and they are still far from reaching that goal. But don’t think that they haven’t made progress since the time of the picture.
because the united snake and the British destroyed it’s democracy
But mostly the Americans
Americans have enough black marks on our history without taking from other countries. That one kicked off because of Britain.
It’d be like the US saying it was mostly Britain regarding Afghanistan recently.
But that wouldnt be true.
It may have started to protect british interest, but those were also in Americas interests as well and the Americans did the lions share of the dirty work.
Obviously im not saying Britain is without blame here, but to make the obligatory Nazi comparison its like saying all the axis nations were as bad as Germany.
It was a joint operation with MI6 and CIA. It was British oil interest specifically that stood to gain, but attacking countries who try to nationalize their own national resources always has vigorous if not direct US support.
Also at the time, the “Imperial core” had shifted from GB to the USA since WW2. There is a ton of financial power in London to this day, and certainly back then. But the question of which nation was acting on behalf of domestic national interests and which nation was acting on behalf of international imperialist interests, even though there is often a lot of over lap such as in this case, is another very important dynamic to consider. In 1956 that was really the start of the US as an imperialist player, the Iranian coup is known as “The CIA’S first coup”.
Its really sort of an interesting time, an interregnum, where that imperial power was moving from one base to another, and the question of who was really in charge was fluid and developing in part because of this event.
But one way to determine it would be to see who was actually in charge of operation TPAJAX, and that was Kermit Roosevelt, grandson of ex president Teddy R.
The 1956 Iranian coup and learning about the US’s role, was one of the things that radicalized me and turned me into an anti-imperialist and socialist, as a young man with little education or prior interest in politics.
The entire thing started because Iran wanted to wrestle control of their oil back from British Petroleum. The British convinced the US that Iran was going to join forces with Russia.
Pretty sure the Dutch were in that too
Don’t forget that August 28th is women’s equality day, the day that the nineteenth amendment was certified, giving women the right to vote.
The day single men lost their last shred of power.
Considering people don’t turn out to vote anyways; they should move it to October 28th to remind people that it wasn’t until 1974 women were allowed to get bank accounts without their husband/father thanks to the Equal Credit Opportunity Act.
I’d like to see how many women who say they’re fine losing their right to vote would also be okay with not having their own bank account.
Rofl money talks
Religious doctrination is the strongest influence towards radical acceptance of certain principles. Too bad if God was real he would hate you pieces of shits.
No need to. I have national Geographics from that time showing this exact type of image.
Iran was a more progressive place in the seventies.
- 50ties
? I don’t get ig. Maybe it’s a whoosh on my end?
Iran could not be called progressive any more after the coup against the Mossadegh government in 1953.
The picture seems to be from the 60ties.
I’ll get the date on the ones I have from the seventies and compare them with the ones from the 60s
Those patterns are very seventies from what I remember. But I could be wrong years can blur a memory.
Unfortunate that it was the pro USA party that wanted to get rid of women’s rights. Unfortunate that USA has had a habit of overthrowing governments that want good things for their people. Unfortunate that social media nowadays makes it a lot cheaper to manipulate voters towards right policies, and this is happening everywhere. Fucking sucks.

Have you heard of a place called Senegal? They didn’t even need fundamentalist psychopaths. They just had the IMF rewrite their laws after a bad loan and now women carry buckets of water on their heads for miles instead of attending university. (Haven’t read up on it in 20 years, could be out of date)
Are they required to do so by law?
By economic necessity? 🥺
