    Two things can be true. Personally I think women’s rights are a great reason for insurrection.

      They weren’t a reason. They were an excuse.

      What you are actually supporting is invading and subjugating Iran.

      Also, it is amusing how you (plural) keep speaking about women’s rights when as supposedly a valid reason to invade other countries (a la the white supremacist fairy tale of “civilising savages”) while your empire actually died stuff like the overthrow of the socialist government of Afghanistan that did improve women’s rights.

        I never said I supported the invasion, you’re putting words in my mouth. I said women’s liberation is a good reason for people to rise up against their government, which is what an insurrection is. The US invasion of Iran is an act of imperialism intended to subjugate and exploit it, not an insurrection.

          You do support pro-NATO forces subjugating Iran for the benefit of invaders of Iraq and Afghanistan simply because of the pretense of “women’s rights”. The people that you support in this case do not care about women’s rights.

          I said women’s liberation is a good reason for people to rise up against their government, which is what an insurrection is.

          These people claiming that they just want women’s rights doesn’t mean that that is what they actually struggle for.

          You are buying another round of Nayirah testimony/Iraq WMD and other such cases of propaganda.

          What is needed first and foremost right now is liberation from NATO, as it is the most major barrier for improving, as whichever group will try to sabotage the Iranian government - even if it will genuinely want things like women’s rights - they will be used by NATO to just further (re-)subjugate Iran and wooden their living conditions.
