    Remember 60 years ago when half the population of Persians could show their ears without inciting the other half to violence?

      Yes I do. When an oligarchy was destroying Iran and starving its people.

      Amazing how the western discourse around freedom is reduced to some silly fun facts about women.

      Now do Orthodox Jewish women next. Let’s see.

        Idk man, seems like it’s kinda more destroyed now, tbh.

        Also, I don’t know about that being a western opinion per se. I chatted with a ~50y old Persian guy some 15 years ago, and he was saying much the same as the guy you replied to.

        That’s why he left as I understood it. Well ‘twasn’ t the only reason, but still.

      You mean when the US and UK installed Shah disappeared, tortured and murdered tens of thousands of people with the aid of US and Israeli intelligence and weapons?
