Reply #11: Make their women cover their hair? [View All]

As if a woman was some kind of commodity, or a child, that must be forced to do what is right. Here in the US we do NOT make our women go to the beach in swimsuits. If a woman wanted to go out to the beach naked she could. True, she would be either restricted to certain beaches, or be arrested at other beaches. If she was arrested, she would probably face a fine and so would a naked man at that same beach.

We don't force women to do anything more than we force men to do, except that the ultra conservative religiously insane would like to force women to give birth to every fertilized egg.

Of course changes to a culture must come from within. But equating the subjugation of women to a mere tradition and not a systematic discrimination against an entire gender is ridiculous. Nice to see some change in Iran, it has to start somewhere, but it is a far cry from treating all grown women as adult human beings.
