It is often told to woman, do not put make up, do not wear revealing clothing, do not show your hair, do not be with Man that you are not related or married to, Do not do this, Do not do that?
until when we want to peruse such closed minded ideologies in our daily lives?
I do realize as time passes by many people are becoming open to idea that double standards are a thing for the past, but this is mostly limited to heavily populated cities in Iran where the style of life is slowly becoming an uncanny valley among female and males. but what has helped this process is mostly Social media and its privacy. Iranian authorities have been trying to construct such tools that can gain more access and more information regarding how people shared the so called “other life” in their private times. There has been reports here and there, people being arrested for Instagram posts and sometimes made it across in news in BBC Persian or other english sites. The real question for me for ask authorties and president is that , do they actually think such material are threat to Islamic revolution? such material entices people to over throw the government? is such thing actually evident in other countries where people with less belif in Islam are free and others who respected are free to practice – obviously looking at Malaysia, Indonesia we can see they are doing much better than thus, however I am aware these countries also suffer from a very constructive and extremest in their governments.
The real topic is that being beautiful in Iran is denied, I believe woman should have right to wear makeup, to wear heels, to wear nice clothing, I also believe woman should have right to wear hijab, modest islamic clothing on their choice. Otherwise I have come to realize that pressuring a community toward saying “NO” to them can eventually results in an unimaginable anger within them. today I believe Woman in Iran are actually able to decide their own fate if they are gathered together, Iranian people always have been and will be protective of their sisters, thus this could be a reason for stronger protest. appearance of woman can make everything stronger even in media and world. I am not saying they should be use as shied !_! do not get me wrong, I am simply saying gather together and divide the responsibilities if we are to free Iran from the current devilish regime that takes its people as if they are animals to be killed within a farm.
After all to me it seems, in many parts of history woman have commanded and men have leaded. It seems such a good strategy to exist within Iran if we are to embrace our power, if we are to break free from the current terrible situation that we are in.
So hope for such day.
