    Nope but articles like this coming out in greater amounts right now are intentionally being pushed out as propaganda to make people feel okay with America committing terrorist bombing campaigns against civilian targets.

    While the content is true, the article itself is explicitly propaganda to justify terrorism.

      Yes, I think this is true. I definitely remember news stories about how women were treated in Iraq, Afghanistan, and Libya before the US government invaded those countries.

      My point was that we might want things to be wrapped up in nice packages like “Iran are the good guys and Israel are the bad guys” but that just isn’t how the world works. The comment I replied to was drawing a line from Israel and the US to Iran’s treatment of women and that’s just not what is happening here. I am against the unjust war but I am also against the oppressive treatment of women in countries like Iran. I realize that there are significant cultural differences between my country and theirs but when I read something like this I wonder what it’s like to be born into a system that won’t allow you to sing without wearing a hijab.
