This is Iranian Rudi Bakhtiar of both FNC and CNN reporting for CNN regarding Women's Rights in Iran.
If you think women have it good over there or any other Islamic country or area where Muslim laws are heavily enforced by "morality police" and you think that women want to live this way and it's their choice. Then you are just fucking stupid and I suggest you go live over there as a woman or a man and then let me know what you think.
Why would you want to silence, cover-up, veil, erase a personal identity and not allow the same equal rights and, in addition, defy natural law?
It's all about control.
