What’s that, article?

You say Iranian women are forced into submission by oppressive Muslim rule? You hold an Orientalist view that Middle Eastern women are forced to live in the home, being oppressed by wearing the veil/hijab/burka while churning out babies and being beaten by their husbands or honor killed by their male family?

I’m sorry, I didn’t hear you over our massive Iranian female police force armed with sub-machine guns, scaling walls, wielding swords, and shooting out of car windows.
