The women of Afghanistan were similarly oppressed, and sadly remain so twenty years after our invasion.

than Iranian women.

And let’s not forget one of our “allies” in this, Saudi Arabia has an abysmal record when it comes to women’s rights; at least as bad as Iran’s if not even worse. Iranian women can travel unaccompanied, not so for Saudi women.

on her own.

Iran was, even under the ayatollah, a better place for women than Afghanistan.

Iranian women can get an education even at the university level and women have led the way for more freedom for years now. Iran is also much more urbanized than Afghanistan. The two countries are very different culturally.

Not sure why any of this matters. We didn’t go into Afghanistan because the taliban treated women badly. The same here. Women may end up better off. That’s great, but it wasn’t our responsibility to go in and depose their leader. I hate to say it, it’s cold but the fate of Iranian women’s human rights doesn’t impact most Americans lives anyways. I’m more concerned about the brutality of ICE and the pedo president we have.

There is always something worse is a disgustingly low bar to achieve. Iran treats woman horribly.

We don't know what will happen but the comparisons to other Islamic countries don't work.

I would say there is a bigger chance of something like what happened in Russia happening. Things involving corrupt elites and businesses and other shit .

Cf Afghanistan.

yup

Trump attacked a country because he’s down in the polls and people just won’t let go of this Epstein thing. His SOTU was shit. His attempt to glom onto the hockey gold medal was shit. His tariffs are shit. His invasion of Minneapolis was shit. His rubber stamp congress is shit. Even the support from his foaming at the mouth racist base is turning to shit. War is the only way out of this. So now we’re in a war.

Nothing about this is saving the women of Iran.

repukes don't give a fuck about women in AMERICA, let alone anywhere else in the world

In the US It appears that no harm no foul if young girls are raped and used as sex slaves. Don’t worry about going to jail boys. As long as you have the cash in your pockets. Somehow our rights to control our own bodies has been snatched from our existence. Zygotes have first right to the hosts body. Now the right to vote for non male citizens is under direct attack. The list goes on and on. The history of the US and close inspection of what is going on here today should put the spotlight on this country as a hostile place to navigate as a female. It starts at the top but lives in the dark corners of the male hearts groomed over time by the system.

He’s more hard line than Khameini.

Yes, represents a chance, meaning it is symbolic, but ONLY symbolic because there are still 100,000 clerics in Iranian government...national, regional, and local.

And, there is still the Revolutionary Guard and its militias which protect and prop up those theocrats. Instigating a true revolution is a lot more involved than just capping the guy at the top.
