Plot twist: She won't be raped like if it had happened the other way around.

Iran doesn't exactly treat women very well either...and that's a huge understatement.

Israel is murdering and starving women right now.

I know, but that doesn't mean Iran has clean hands.

This is such a stupid back and forth, debating which coumtry is more dangerous for a woman. Would either svenario justify the attack on a sovereign nation?

[–] jsomae@lemmy.ml 2 points 5 days ago

Yeah, good point. I'm with you.

Both sides are run by religious fundamentalist which are the worst types of human on earth. Any religion that thinks they’re “chosen” treat women like shit because of their males littlest-of-dick-energy available.

Watching them fuck themselves up while I’m over here eating my popcorn.

i am very much for a more humane govt there and against medieval islamic culture but iran are saints when compared to israel. israeli snipers have been shooting pregnant women for years and wearing tshirts about it with “one shot two kills”

israel is full of the most disgusting humans on earth who will murder a kids family infront of him then shoot him in legs two days later. all because they tried to save some olive trees which are their only source of livelihood.

and israelis do it just because they can and won’t face any consequence for it.

That username and de facto defending Israel lmfao cannot imagine being as worthless and pathetic as you

How's that defending Israel? Person is clearly pointing out a problem with Iran. And unless you're telling me that Iran is a perfect country, this isn't defending israel.

Ah but you see, that line only works when it's used by a lib. The same standard does not apply to them!

There's absolutely no need to read books like "Do Muslim Women Need Saving?" for a better understanding on why Western media's portrayal of Muslims is the way that it is, why do so when it's much easier to regurgitate unfounded, fabricated, downright mythological what-is-practically Western projections on to populations that they deem "uncivilized", all at the comfort of doing so from your own couch!

spoilerTo the lurkers, if this was somehow not obvious, /s.

a lib

Right there I know I don't need to keep reading.

We can tell that you stop reading anything that challenges you already, you don't need to tell us

[–] Samsuma@lemmy.ml 3 points 5 days ago

you weren't going to read anything anyway that so much as humanizes the Global South, let alone Muslim women.
