bodily autonomy discussion is so ridiculous we have to use this stupid analogy to make a point. Women still go war, men still can’t carry a fetus. Thousands citizens of all genders are affected by war, no one but the woman is affected by her pregnancy.
Lashed for drinking wine in Iran!
I received this photo from Isfahan, where the authorities raided his house for holding a mixed party which is illegal under Sharia law.
Meanwhile, the “reformist” president of this same country where a young man was lashed for sipping wine in his own home is packing his bags to come to New York to the land of free speech and free-flowing wine. Should we expect him to lecture us on human rights and personal freedom while he’s here?
The man who received the lashes told me:
“They’ve made it so that even within the walls of our own home, we no longer have security or freedom to practice our beliefs. They arrested all of us, and after a trial without the right to defense, we were lashed for drinking during the month of Safar. Some people might no longer believe in Muharram or Safar—some may no longer want to be Muslim at all.”
In 21st-century Iran, citizens have no choice in their religion. Whether they practice Islam or not, they are punished under the harsh dictates of Sharia law for acts as simple as drinking, singing, dancing, or holding mixed parties. These acts of repression are reminders that fundamental freedoms, even within the privacy of one’s home, are a distant reality in Iran today.

These are two sisters. One of them was killed during the ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ uprising in Iran, and now the other one has been arrested for not wearing a hijab in the street. Nika Shakarami, only 16 years old, took to the streets after the killing of #MahsaAmini by the morality police and set her headscarf on fire, which led to her murder at the hands of the regime. Yesterday, her sister Aida went to the street without a hijab and was arrested by the same regime. This indicates that even by killing her sister, the regime cannot force another sister to submit to the hijab. This signifies the failure of the Islamic Republic.
If the world does not unite with us the women of Iran to fight against one of the most dangerous regimes, believe me, this virus will spread to infect the rest of the world.

Я не услышала, чтобы кто-то требовал наказания для антагонистов — только системных перемен. И перемен в отношении к этим темам — насилия и злоупотребления властью.
Преподаватели, которых обвиняли в домогательствах, сказали мне, что не слушали подкаст
