Real feminism, or, if you prefer, real respect for the human dignity and rights of women, will never accept the hijab, which is a manifestation of a belief system that regards women as inferior to men and entirely responsible for male self-control, such that women are subject to being brutalized and even killed if they wear it and men find themselves lacking self-control anyway. It is a garment of dehumanization and an implied threat to women in its very essence. These women, not the virtue-signaling Leftists who don the hijab in supposed solidarity with Muslim women who are supposedly being menaced by MAGA-hat-wearing thugs in the West, who are the genuine feminists.Her name is #YasamanAryani she is one of the youngest women’s right activist who joined #WhiteWednesdays movement against #ForcedHijab .Today Yasaman & her mother #MonirehArabshahi each got 16 yrs jail sentence for their Peaceful activities.

These shorter sentences in Iran average about half of the original term.The women were delivered the verdicts in the absence of their legal counsel, according to the Iran Human Rights Monitor; legal counsel was also denied during certain stages of the indictment process, interrogations and even during the trial itself….
