Victimless crime..

Women in Iran are currently reeling from the death of one of their own. Mahsa Amini, 22 died on Friday after spending 3 days in a coma after being arrested by the so called "morality police" for "breaking hijab laws" (it's a shame protecting Iranian Women's lives isn't considered as "moral" by the "morality police" as childishly guarding the perceived "property" of men, a truly Abrahamic  religious perspective if ever there was one). Spontaneous protests of hijab burning and cutting of hair have broken out across the country and protestors have been seen sporting signs saying "death to the dictator" referring to the "spiritual leader" (whatever that means) of that country Ayatollah Ali Khamenei. 

It's sad to see unnecessary death anywhere, especially when the person is so young and the crime is victimless! Those liberals here in the UK who defend the compulsory wearing of these kinds of garments under the supposed shield of "culture" or "freedom of choice" really have no clue. The lived reality of millions bears out the truth of these archaic laws, that they are hated and the symbols of them, like the hijab, are the modern equivalent of medieval chastity belts, i.e. nothing at all to do with the freedom, modesty or wellbeing of the women that are forced to endure them and everything to do with the desired control that powerful men and the religious institutions that prop them up wish to exert over them.
