Bless you sisters, strength and courage to you in your struggle, I hope one day you'll have justice Inshallah. These things are just so sad, and the Iranian government is literally against what Islam stands for. Oppressing women is totally against Islam. Can't these "leaders" just see that? But no they wouldn't, because they use our beautiful religion as an excuse to spread terror and violence. Aren't they afraid of God?

if 50% of women rebelled all at once and refused to stop the government would fall

No, I haven't run out of things to say; I assure you. I feel inclined to point out that whatever judgment you've made could hardly be considered 'bang on,' being that it's nothing but impertinent drivel that isn't at all relevant to anything that has been mentioned. You, on the other hand, have left a significant trail of inconsistencies that I've taken up on pointing out in contrast to that of your nature. And now you're disparaging the usage of certain words; waving the white flag so soon?

Well, not to worry, they are inaccurate where as mine are bang on and anytime I hear hyperbole's like "infinitely" its a sure sign that the person saying it has run out of anything to come back with or say. Please, misogynistic loser, continue on responding to my comments. I beg you.

[PabzGLRP]

I'm aware we're all "being judged", but the blanket statement you've crapped up isn't exactly relevant to this argument. The point is, you've led me to judge certain aspects to your demeanor through constant remarks about mothers and prostitution - I'm not judging you as a whole, asshole. I'll gladly 'accept my fate' (which is infinitely more fulfilling than that of your own) and I can only hope you'll do the same in continuing to beg people to conduct foul sexual acts over YouTube commentary.

[TheMinwanabi]

and no, :-D you haven't a clue of what Ironic means.

[TheMinwanabi]

We are all judged/evaluated. This is just a part of life. Who is doing the evaluating/judging (in your case a two bit misogynistic loser), can determine how much water that evaluation/judgment holds. You amount to no more than a piece of shit calling an asshole (the one it came out of) smelly even after the asshole's been thoroughly wiped & cleaned. Please accept your fate as you're being flushed down the toilet & join the rest of the waste and refuse in this world in the sewer where you belong
