A teenage Iranian girl, who fell into a coma earlier this month following an alleged encounter with officers over violating the country’s hijab law, is said to be “brain dead”, Iranian state media reported on Sunday.

      I recognize what you’re saying here, the Iranian government would prefer women who are incapable of thinking for themselves, but your phrasing is insensitive at best and borderline racist at worst.

        sorry i forgot what I wrote, I’m not a pro lemmy user and not sure how to see full comment chain. However, I likely remarked on lack of womens rights in Iran, which anyone remarking lack of womens rights in Islamic countries, is not racist, but just stating facts. Facts that I’m sure some people are upset about. I used to be friends with a woman from saudia arabia who told me personally about her trials and tribulations and trying to unsuccessfully escape the country many times.
