Iranian Women Warned – Bare-Face Consequences Could Include a Man’s “Right to Rape” Them

For all of their declarations of how superior they are to the West, Iranian men seem to be inexplicably incapable of controlling their most basic urges. As it turns out, that seems to be the reason that Iranian women wear headscarves. The official Iranian position maintains that their men are like dogs on the street who will pounce on anything that they see. A woman’s only protection against sexual assault is to keep the Iranian men from seeing her.

The problem for the Iranian theocracy took the form of literally hundreds of thousands of Iranian women sharing photos of themselves on a Facebook page, minus the government-mandated headscarf. Others were tweeting photos under the hash tag #MyStealthyFreedom.

The Iranians were unable to shut down the page or arrest and punish its creator, an exiled Iranian. The owner, Masih Alinejad, lives outside the territorial control of Iran in London, England.

Hadi Sharifi, a propagandist for the regime, was interviewed on Tasnim, a state-run news agency and an Iranian Revolutionary Guard operation. Sharifi cautioned the “exhibitionists” to stop immediately, that there would be consequences for their actions.

Sharifi explained on behalf of the state that Alinejad was a CIA operative and that those who “liked” the page were somehow doing so to stay apprised of CIA posts, not for the freedoms that the site suggests.
