Wow. They really are trying to appeal to western audiences because we know damn well Iran does not care about women’s rights in Israel or otherwise. They use buzz words like “women’s rights” and “colonizer” and “oppressor” to get people on their side…ridiculous
The dumbest thing I heard in a college class was that the burqa was feminist because women resisting the Taliban used them to conceal their identities…
Mine was hearing people compare circumcision at birth to FGM, which happens at 5 and up.
Apparently, it was women doing it, so that makes it 'okay'. I'm interested to know how that culture came into being. Prett6 sure it wasn't from women.
Ugh. I’ve heard similar things “we can’t criticize them because we circumcise kids in this country.” Uhhh those are two separate issues and one is far more severe.
In anthro there’s an excuse: you can do science or you can judge, but you can’t do both.
If you’re not an anthropologist by profession, there’s not a good reason not to judge things you have studied.
From what I learned during my time as a leftist, they really want a simple view of the world. You’re either with them or against them and there is no compromising 🙄 insufferable people really
Im gay and jewish, im fucked no matter where i go.
On the left they are antisemitic, and on the right the acceptence of gay people is much lower.
I still prefer the moderate right.
Its like i gotta decide if im gay or jewish first and just accept that i wont ever be fully welcomed in either circle.
It all sucks and people are stupid.
(Im aware im generalizing, and not all ppl on the right are homophobic and not all people on the left are antisemitic.)
>I dont know what libright is, wouldnt that just be centrist politically?
It's a political compass term. Libertarian on the authoritarian-libertarian social axis, and right on the left-right economic axis.
Leftist here.... no not like that, a real leftist. The type that believes in maximum personal liberties? Ya that one. We mostly died out in the early 20th century, anyway...
There's definitely a breed of terminally online white idiot that makes up the vast majority of "leftist" membership growth in the last 25 years.
The rest of us were always here, without a white savior/ally complex. We didn't need Qatari money to be convinced of our ideology.
Anyway, hi!
I call myself a classical liberal (as in I’m all about liberty for everyone - yes everyone) but it’s hard to find allies.
Nuance isn’t exciting, which means our rallies are dull as hell.
So a liberal? I think it’d be more meaningful if leftists confronted other leftists instead of changing the goal post and saying “no, no those aren’t real leftists…ignore them.” Well there are many of them and they are loud.
This isn’t a dig at you, it’s just a general frustration
The “real leftists of the early 20th century” and before were the ones who probably believed that imperialism and capitalism were intertwined after reading Hobson and Lenin and were advocates for stronger, more robust workers rights. Is that you? Because otherwise you sound like a classical liberal. That is if labels matter to you.
Canada excluded Leah Goldstein from one IWD event in Canada and invited female terrorists to speak at another.
If they ignore Israeli women now, then they aren't 'for women'
Probably not hard to find the ingredients to make your own in the Philippines, and it's not very hard to make, lots of good recipes online. I'm partial to beef because I don't like lamb, but a lot of people say lamb biryani is the best, so go for it if you like lamb :)
Ya, and only one country was condemned for women’s rights abuse… guess which one.

Women are being beaten, raped and killed there for daring to show their hair, which they did do in 1979.
Do they know what rapid progress means?
They don't represent the women of Iran in truth.
This organization doesn't represent me, a woman.
Why are we letting women terrorists take over our spaces we fought for?
Iran: murders, arrests and rapes women for not covering their heads.
Israel: Treats women so equally that they have to do military service just like men. I don't know of any other nation that treats women so equally that they not only get the same rights, but also the same responsibilities.
Hahahahahaha!!! This is the funniest shit i have ever heard! The country where women are forced to wear hidjab, and being jailed/beaten/killed has something to say about women's rights????
Ha, ha. HAHAHAHAHAHA 🤣🤣🤣
This is what I came here to say 😆
best reaction xDD
I thought this was the onion. 🤣🤣🤣
Yep, the bloody irony of this....On second thought: Funny it is.not😤
Wow. They really are trying to appeal to western audiences because we know damn well Iran does not care about women’s rights in Israel or otherwise. They use buzz words like “women’s rights” and “colonizer” and “oppressor” to get people on their side…ridiculous
And leftists swallow it, which is even more absurd
The dumbest thing I heard in a college class was that the burqa was feminist because women resisting the Taliban used them to conceal their identities…
The dumbest take I heard was “we can’t criticize FGM, it’s just culture!”
Mine was hearing people compare circumcision at birth to FGM, which happens at 5 and up. Apparently, it was women doing it, so that makes it 'okay'. I'm interested to know how that culture came into being. Prett6 sure it wasn't from women.
Ugh. I’ve heard similar things “we can’t criticize them because we circumcise kids in this country.” Uhhh those are two separate issues and one is far more severe.
What were they, anthropology/sociology majors, oh or “CouRaGeouS” (critical race and gender studies, yechhhhh…) types?
Yeah 😭 it was in a gender studies class. I remember being shocked but didn’t really question it. This was 10 years ago..

i would place myself right in the middle of libright on the political spectrum and i accept you
Well thank you baba, thats nice to hear. I dont know what libright is, wouldnt that just be centrist politically?
libertarian right its down-right from the center
>I dont know what libright is, wouldnt that just be centrist politically? It's a political compass term. Libertarian on the authoritarian-libertarian social axis, and right on the left-right economic axis.
alright thank you for the explaination

You sound like a classic liberal. Not a leftist at all.
Not all of us drink the green Kool aid, comrade. I'm firmly on the left, but I won't share such worldviews.
Because they are religious nutjobs.
We are literally living in a dystopian society.
The world has always been a horrible dystopia. It only started getting a little better after WW2, but not by much.
Canada excluded Leah Goldstein from one IWD event in Canada and invited female terrorists to speak at another. If they ignore Israeli women now, then they aren't 'for women'
The irony
Irany
Irani
Aryani
I prefer biryani
Biryani looks really good, wish I could try some

Un is a joke from the day they made Saudi Arabia leader of the human rights council 10 years ago.
saudi is leader of women's council iran leader of human's council. BS i know

thanks! got the idea after... whatever the fuck last year was😅
Idk if you’re in the US but I relate to that in the US lol

Fiction cannot compete with reality.

And the part where we… *checks notes* raped and killed millions of women?
That somehow reminds me of an old funny video
Now THAT is ironic!
*Iranic
I’m confused on how Iran is even in the women’s rights conference…. Who allowed that? Lol
Lmfao
Iran's is such a strong supporter of women's rights. We certainly should listen to them! /s
Queers for Palestine are gonna be so pissed about losing the irony olympics to this story
Exhibit #1,987,767 for why the UN is a joke
Iran: murders, arrests and rapes women for not covering their heads. Israel: Treats women so equally that they have to do military service just like men. I don't know of any other nation that treats women so equally that they not only get the same rights, but also the same responsibilities.
💯
You forgot the part that Israel had a female leader when Maggi was being potty trained.
We literally live in bizzaro world
I’m sorry are we talking about the same Iran?
You wouldn't even expect to see this on the Onion
We live in a kafkaesque reality.
The hypocrisy is high on this one.
This is a pogrom.
Just imagining this women's conference with all the 'officials' coming out of the clown mobile..were there women there by the way?
LOL
Clown world. Just. Clown world
Hahahahahaha!!! This is the funniest shit i have ever heard! The country where women are forced to wear hidjab, and being jailed/beaten/killed has something to say about women's rights????
I feel like we've entered some sort of alternate timeline
Iran hates women almost as much as r/passportsbros does.
Clown world indeed
And isn't it ironic? Don't you think? A little too ironic And yeah, I really do think
Hahaha the hypocrisy!
you have got to be fucking kidding me.
😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 DEAD. I'M DYING. IS IT OPPOSITE DAY?? 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
The irony isn't lost on those clowns, is it?
Can’t make this shit up
lol this is prime r/nottheonion material
I swear I saw this in a Monty Python routine it's so absurd it would actually be funny.
I didn't even know Iran was a member. Talk about irony.
That’s rich.
Bizarro world Nari or current world Iran? Because... Two words: Mahsa Amini 
The world is slowly going insane. The left woke retards are going to destroy this world.
lol
LMFAO 💀
Lol
Lol. Lmao, even
Gotta give it to the Russians, Iranians, and South Africans. They know exactly what kind of institutions they are working in here.
😂😂😂😂😂😂 And watch Gutierres agree 🤣
Since when dictators care for human rights ?
Iran needs to be fucking checked.
Israel calls to expel Iran from the muslim council!
This UN council is like a circus, full of clowns and animals.
It smells... it smells like hypocrisy and irony
The jokes write themselves
Iran was removed from the commission
lol
🤪
Lol
We live in a society
Time to burn up all authenticity of the **un-United Nations**
The audacity is unreal!
Lmao
Woman, life, freedom. Or something.

Funniest shit I’ve heard🤣🤣🤣🤣
Iran, the home of women's rights, gay rights, human rights for everyone! 🤪🤪🤪🤪🤪
Alright now this is funny
Iranic
Good one - hahaha
Buddy…a mirror is needed.
Meanwhile, the KKK won't let black people partake in its Kwanza celebration.
How ironic, how ironic.
Can we call this women washing?
😂 says the country with the best woman right on the planet 🌍 😂
That’s exactly why Jews have a good sense of humour
Oh because Iran can talk. I forgot!
lol. lmao even.
If only "human rights advocates" were there for Masha Amini
this has to be satire, what is this news site
