Yo, Feminists, Iranian Women Face Mean Consequences If They Arent Veiled Properly Where are feminists and the war on woman people when you need them? The chief of police in the Iranian capital of Tehran is now telling the women of his town to wear the veil of the nations faith or face consequences. From Clarion Project: General Teymour Hosseini threatened, If a (female) driver in a car is poorly veiled or has taken her veil off, the vehicle will be seized in accordance with the law, theIranian Student News Agency (ISNA) reported In addition, the woman will have to get a court order to reclaim her vehicle. So, no letting the wind blow through her hair, huh? Yeah, impounding property is not very nice, but not unexpected, either. These guys have specific expectations for women and the girls arent living up to them. Unfortunately, some streets of the capital have come to resemble fashion salons, Irans judiciary chief Ayatollah Sadegh Larijani said this week, questioning the tolerance that has led to such a situation. Yeah, that has a tendency to happen with women. The thing is, that since the hardline takeover in 1979, the women of Iran have bristled, and outright resisted the rules that say they have to be covered from scalp to toe while outside of their homes. Last year, a truly enlightening Facebook page blasted onto western consciousness titled My Stealthy Freedom where Iranian women post photos of themselves without head scarves and enjoying the freedom, however short lived, of being bare headed, something so many of us take for granted. These women, many times, only post photos of their backs with flowing locks of hair to their waists against remote backgrounds for fear of being identified. And now, in the comfort of their own cars, these women cant even be themselves. They have to be who the Tehran police want them to be. Why does this regime get a pass on the war on women? Impounding cars because a womans hair isnt covered just seems like a much worse strike against her dignity than trying to prevent women and girls from killing their children which mutilates the body and mind and haunts the mother for the rest of her life. This writer would say the war on women feminists have their priorities out of whack, but shes a Catholic so her opinions dont count.
