Rules:
-
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
- Post news articles only
- Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
- Title must match the article headline
- Not United States Internal News
- Recent (Past 30 Days)
- Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
-
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
-
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
-
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
-
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
-
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.
-
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
-
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

I still don't understand how at the same time, men are feral beasts who can't resist the urge to rape someone because checks notes they saw her hair, yet they are the logical ones who can be trusted with power and responsibility.
I could be wrong, but I think the religious logic is that it keeps the men in the community focused on society and their families rather than casting a wandering eye towards other women. Pretty sure that Muslim men aren’t looking at themselves as barely restrained rapists.
Whole thing is awful though, and I am in no way trying to support mandatory hijab laws.
Not so different from "conversion" clinic for LGBTQ people, no?
It's a really weird situation they have with that
Since the 1979 Revolution, the legal code has been based on Islamic law. Despite allowing sex reassignment surgery, homosexuality in Iran remains a crime punishable by death.[2][3][4][14][15] In Iran, this framework is occasionally viewed as a means to "correct" individuals who may otherwise express same-sex desires, offering an option to conform to heteronormative standards
So being gay is punishable by death, but it's fine if you go through gender reassignment surgery since that makes you a woman. With their attitude against gays you'd think they'd have similar attitude against sex change but I guess not.
Deeply disturbing. It's so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.
Imagine the world without America / Israel invading anywhere that showed any sign of building a socialist society.
...in Teheran, while the rest of the country was pretty much still tribal.
While it's absolutely true that the average Iranian is vastly, vastly more liberal than their government let's not turn around and glorify the Shah regime either. You don't need to go back in time to show Iranians in a positive light.
Who downvoted this, and why?
This is a picture of Tehran's upper class youth from the 70's, and it is often posted as if it were everyday life in Iran.
Spoiler: The rich in Iran can still do whatever they want.
What do women of the same class look like now?
The same when you look at all the party reels on tiktok or insta. Not that I do, but I know someone who has an Iraniam girlfriend and they always party when they go back to Tehran, and they showed me a couple shorts from their trip.
Ive never used Instagram or tiktok.
You are not missing a thing.
Fascists.
Wow, this is pretty much Gilead in real life
Iran Dictionary (updated)
Clinic: An establishment or room where women can endure repeated rape and beatings until they agree to wear a hijab.
I would rather blind all male who has a problem seeing a woman. This is the biggest man made crap in this universe. There is a starman waiting in the sky... They just laughing their ass off seeing this madness.
No no no, it's not the strong men that is the problem, it's the weak women with their fragile womanly figure seducing the strong virile men, it's the weak and powerless women who need to be reigned in and controlled.. So the strong powerful men won't be uncontrollably seduced..../S ^
strong man has strong eyelid, I would still blind them.
Some people are fucking insane, even just for thinking about something like this.
I don´t want to live on this planet anymore.
How can they still think men are the "strong gender"?
This shit offends me as a man.
As if I'm not able to control myself
Fucking assholes
I used to be able to read stories like this and be glad I didn't live in a country that had nationally state-sponsored things like this.
I won't be able to feel that way any more.
Did the fuckers who developed Project 2025 copy the Iranians? If not, they will add it.
I had to look up the vaguely Kurdistan-looking flag in the background — for anyone else wondering, it's this: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/%C3%8Az%C3%AEdxan_Protection_Force
And the other flag is of course the pre-revolution flag of Iran (which always reminds me of St. Mark's Lion on the flag of the Venetian Republic)
Will these treatments involve mineral supplements applied externally at high speeds?
I just can't get into the headspace of someone who's a big enough cunt to think any of this is a good idea. No matter how much slack I try to give conservative nutjobs, no matter how deep into the rabbit hole I imagine going, it's not just dumb, but obviously dumb.
