It's ironic
Women in Iran are routinely and systematically discriminated against and oppressed.
They’re banned from sports stadiums, even when their husbands, brothers, or sons are playing in the game.
If they’re married, they can’t leave the country without their husband’s permission.
Three men and three women were reportedly arrested for the crime of dancing on camera. They were sentenced to 91 lashes and one year in jail.
And yet, liberal feminists in America such as Joy Behar think it’s America that has the problem. Speaking on “The View,” Behar compared what’s happening in Iran’s oppressive autocratic regime to protests against Trump.
Here’s a wake-up call for American women who can’t seem to open their eyes to the true intolerances against women worldwide.
In America, when men and women take to the streets to protest a democratically-elected president who they don’t like, they have police to protect them.
In Iran, when men and women dare to speak out against their government, they’re suppressed and sent to jail. Seven days into these rallies, at least 20 people are dead.
So let’s be clear: The happening in Iran is far more important for women’s rights than any of our First World problems here in the United States.
Instead of being silent—or worse, trying to draw parallels between Iranian women and ourselves—American women should support them.
Because in Iran, unlike the United States, women’s lives may actually depend on it.
