DEDICATED TO THE WOMEN IN IRAN

& their supporters, who are about to fight for their rights: You will make it! I cannot do much from where I live, but to send you energy. The divine feminine and masculine is about to rise- there is no way back to the old ways. Therefore, I hope the best for you. Keep on going!

How do Iranian women feel about the dress code laws?

Iranian women have been living under dress code laws for several decades now. These laws stipulate that women must cover their hair and bodies in public, adhering to the Islamic principles of modesty. However, the opinions and feelings of Iranian women towards these dress code laws can vary greatly. Some women in Iran embrace the dress code laws as a way to express their religious and cultural…

I’m was watching a video about a Jewish custom, and the entire comment section was like this

It’s about anti Zionism my ass.

This is the case whenever a post has Hebrew/ Jewish symbols/ etc. it’s obviously not about Israel.

If your feminism doesn't include Iranian and Afghan women, then you're not a feminist.

If your feminism doesn't include women suffering in highly patriarchial societies, then you're not a feminist.

If your feminism doesn't include honour killing victims, then you're not a feminist.

If your feminism doesn't include women suffering at the hands of a zealot religious ideology, then you're not a feminist.

If you support women who want to wear the hijab, but don't support women who don't want to wear it, then you're a morally corrupted person.

More power to the Iranian Women🔥

Islamists as usual are offended seeing a woman in the islamic republic of Iran protesting for her right to freedom by courageously stripping herself when the morality police harassed her for improper hijab, and are calling it a glorification of western culture meanwhile sitting in their privileged bubbles, glorifying the terrorists over a piece of Palestinian land. And then they wonder why the west consistently slaps them with a deserving silent treatment. I wish death upon all these traitor muslim women and would love to see them deported back to their countries from west. You want to remain a piece of object under black tents making homes like slaves, do that happily in Afghanistan or Pakistan. Get lost from the west.

Quite a eulogy: “You were the happiest war criminal any of us ever knew!”

A pioneer for transgender rights in Iran, Maryam Khatoon Molkora was a woman who changed her country and the world. As a transgender woman of faith, Maryam represents an often ignored sector of the queer community. In 1987 she faced religious leaders to change how transgender people were viewed within the Muslim community and the laws regarding transgender people in Iran. She is largely responsible for changing the discussion around transgender rights in Iran.

Yumna Al-Arashi, Axis of Evil (Yemen, Afghanistan, Iran, Iraq), 2020

in Leica Fotografie International (LFI) magazine:

"This photograph was made for my first European solo show in Berlin, in the gallery Anahita Contemporary. It's a self-portrait alongside Anahita Sadighi, Moshtari Hilal and Susu AbdulMajid. We are respectively from Yemen, Iran, Afghanistan and Iraq. Despite our different roots I noticed that we all share a similar background, having grown up in Western nations that often vilify the places our families are from. I also noticed the strong profiles of each of our faces. So I decided to create this portrait with the title Axis of Evil – a play on the term so frequently used to describe our home countries when we were growing up. It also embraces the beauty of our distinctive noses, which are often treated as ugly, something to be changed. I wanted to embrace these qualities of ours in this image, creating something powerful, defiant."

If this gets enough attention I will make a second that separates the religious and non religious votes. If you put depends on the religion can you mention which religions should and shouldn't

Y'all I just wanted to make a post seeing how popular theocracy was, I didn't realise you would all take it this far

Also would you like me to share the amended and completely fair poll?

Tel Aviv last night

Following the devastating news of the murder of 6 hostages, us Israelis are striking and protesting for a deal.

Saying we don’t want a ceasefire deal is just wrong. There are protests nationwide, school and most businesses are closed in protest.

We want a ceasefire / hostages deal . Bring them home now❤️🎗️

western women in privileged countries, when feminists from the global south tell you to watch out for white men and that your superiority complex won't save you, it is not an insult, it is a warning

what happens to women in the global south isn't happening because we have dark skin or non-european cultures. the threat that terrorizes us openly that makes you feel pity for us is not unique to us. that threat is in your bed, too.
