Parastoo Ahmadi sang while wearing a sleeveless dress during a concert livestreamed on her YouTube channel in December 2024. Iran's laws ban public performances by women and require them to wear headscarves and modest clothing.

Iran's judiciary launched proceedings against the 29-year-old after the video went viral, gaining millions of views, saying the performance was "in violation of the country's legal and cultural regulations".

    If Western regimes were not committing a full-scale genocide against women and children indiscriminately, you might have had a moral ground to stand on.

    Further, in every case of Western intervention, rights devolved, and it was just another resource grab.

    The Zionists are just an extension of the US businessmen government. It will be most interesting to watch the end match between the proxy government and the United States businessmen government.

    You Western chauvinists love to talk up feminism, as though you're not the very people who've been opposed to it the whole time.

    In America, the no1 cause of death for pregnant people is homicide. And for every 100 rapes reported to the police, 3 people on average will catch charges. You see the West is full of primitive men who only respect their battered and raped women inside Islamophobic fantasies. They hate women in large part because of an ancient and loose confederation of primitive cults collectively called Christianity.

    Oh misogyny doesn't need Christianity to be able to thrive. I've worked in the Trades since 1980.. and over the decades caught plenty of snide remarks, had my tools stolen and the quality of my work dismissed. Not a Chrsitian man in the lot.. just easily threatened limp-dick assholes that thought the jobsite was their clubhouse with No Girls Allowed.

    Compared to women not allowed to do anything at all without male presence any sane person would choose not a fundamentalist backwards country. There is nothing good to say about christianity, islam or any organized religion (and about religion in general, somehow it always attracts worst kinds of both people and ideas).

    Iran has played a role in a positive side effect of the US-Israel war at enormous cost to its people. That is the loss of confidence in the US military and soft power. US, Canadian and European gov'ts have not played a positive role in this process. Iran has. You build a strawman around people who note and appreciate the positive role Iran's played in this process.
