Absolutely! Iranian women have been dead jealous of their Afghan sisters ever since the West stepped in to help women there ...... and just look at all the freedom those Afghan ladies are enjoying now!

Thanks Jennifer....I wanted to say that...but you made it hallowed. Thank you for telling how it is for the women in near bondage for patriarchy and brittle orthodoxy in some of the Arab world and aristocracy. I pray for them and pray for women in America who suffer dominance in home and church. Family and Religious freedom should not be the destruction of society in free countries. Evil, hatred, and Satan-- are the detractors of Goodness, Mercy, and fellowship in mankind across our Earth. Prayers of thankfulness for you and sisters and brothers like us. Much Aloha🕊🇺🇸🕊🥰

Thank you ….. My point was that the Western world is using the pretext of “women’s rights” to attack Iran. Actually, women’s education improved a great deal in the years since the Islamic Revolution- sex segregated schools meant that conservative families were willing to send their daughters to school. In Iran, as elsewhere, it is now boys and men who lag behind girls and women educationally. By contrast, the Afghan “Taliban” are preventing women from acquiring education.

Not sure what I loved more - women bombing women or the gays wanting the glitter bombs 😅

I'm thinking how pleased the US will be when female Irani pilots bomb female barracks to liberate female soldiers so they don't have to be mattresses for the American soldiers anymore. Death is so freeing.

No matter what happens America the UK NATO and EU are guilty of Insurrection and the destruction of Sovereign States. No matter who says what these administrations have NO RIGHT to Interfere with the Laws of any Country. What the Rulers Leaders or whatever, do in their own countries has absolutely Fuck All to do with the above mentioned Invasive Countries l just wish someone would give the Western Dictatorships a Right Good Fucking Kicking then move onto Netanyahu’ Murderous Dictatorship and really set about them in a manner befitting a Regime of Baby Children Women and Men Murderers.

Why don't you comment your thoughts rather than writing 8 words of nonsense or are you afraid the brain cell isn't awake/a-woke yet?

It’s your lack of English that is a concern.

Paul has the ability but is unable to push himself as it’s easier to blame other people for his inadequacies.

While hypocrisy reigns irony is the only currency which can meet the need of speaking truth to power. Bravo!

Thank you!

It’s appalling how hypocritical this is! US is always seen as liberating people, all throughout history.

Oh please make us totally dependent on the dollar, we love buying dollars super expensive!

Please take our resources, we don’t really that stuff…

Allow us to never repay the debt, that is a metaphor for us bring eternally grateful (and eternally in your debt).

Brilliant as ever and yes.....where were these champions of female emancipation during the AUTHENTIC revolt triggered by the murder of a young Kurdish woman by the "morality police" in 2022? They were nowhere in sight because the ungrateful women in Iran failed to accept the support of America's stooges such as the remnants of the Shah's former regime in California and the MeK - a well resourced cult which raped Kurdish women during Saddam's invasion of Kurdish Mosul in 1996 and source of FALSE CLAIMS that Iran is on the threshold of creating a nuclear bomb.

Girl bosses of the world unite for a Nobel prize by conservative pseudo feminists bombing for peace rooted in injustice and the expendability of non humans because colored lives don’t matter in the U.S. of Apartheid.
