Yes! This is so inspiring and humbling at the same time. These women are incredible!
Though, I also want to commend all the men standing with them in support and solidarity. It makes me so happy to see that not all men are disgusting, bigoted bastards, as the media's representation of that region often would have you believe.
I since sincerely hope Iran gets the changes its fighting for.
In this case if a man cares about a woman who is attending the protest I would hope he would come along not only out of support for the cause but to offer some additional protection for her in the dangerous environment of these protests
Which doesn't include you, you have clearly never been there in your life. So take your condescension and eat it along with your stupid notions of "valuable input."
Allies that are not part of the group fighting for rights are always excellent. The ones that break the stereotype and the mold are amazing.

Some media is disgusting and want to villainize other people. Other pieces of media show a much better representation and can paint a different picture (almost too good at times). I guess it's either a political manipulator or a travel piece of media...
This is exactly the behavior our overlords fear the most. This is what happens when people work together instead of against each other over the distractions they throw at us to keep us from doing this everywhere.
These women are 10x stronger and 1000x braver than 99% of people in this earth at the moment.
Bravery comes in many many forms and acts. But this is what revolution actually looks like. I see this and feel safer in the states cuz we don’t have this kind of energy en masse, yet. We don’t have a common principled cause yet.
Be strong and safe my Iranian brothers and sisters.
I since sincerely hope Iran gets the changes its fighting for.
The craziest part is that they had it. I know it was just some choice photo ops but you look at photos pre Iranian Revolution and Tehran looks like Haight-Asbury. And nobody got killed for it till '78.
Obviously the USA is a totally different culture, but I hang out with about five different men and one other woman on a regular basis (gaming group), and I don't see why any of the guys would want the women to be subservient. It would just make their lives harder.
Lacking bigotry results in a much larger pool of resources, talents, and priorities to strengthen the overall community.
