  • On a side note, is there much info on the dress code in Iran? From what I can see, it’s mainly about covering your legs from the ankles up, covering arms from the elbows up, and covering the top of your head if you’re a woman. And even then I imagine foreigners get less hassle.

    Like, all of the pictures of Iranian women in Chabod (the typically-black head-to-toe covering) is purely exploiting for propaganda purposes the women who congregate in their choice of clothing.

    Those women have more autonomy over their appearance and modesty than a lot of women do in the west. We may not have formal religious or moral police, but instead we have at least a third of society who harass, assault, and ---- women deemed “not modest enough”. We have recreated modesty police culturally yet talk of liberating women into our own fucked up systems of misogyny.
