Iran's protests revolution is not simply about hijab or bodily autonomy, rather those are parts of the issue: a meta post (part 1)
I don't think I can stress enough that today's conflicts between people and the governing system is not to correct the system, rather to make a fundamental change by getting rid of the current corrupted system altogether. Why? Because we came to this conclusion throughout this 4 decades that this system is impossible to work with. (You can't correct ideologies, theocracy, dictatorship, and worst of all a religious totalitarianism) So when you talk about IranProtests2022, don't limit it to mandatory hijab, it goes far far beyond that. As one favorite slogan on the streets states it:
این آخرین پیامه، هدف کل نظامه
(this is the last message, [our] target is the whole system (regime))
*I'm going to use historical facts, people's chants on the streets, and the constitution of Islamic Republic to make my point across*
What you hear today the most on the streets in Iran is the melodic slogan آزادی، آزادی، آزادی (freedom, freedom, freedom)
Tumblr media
which is a generic demand that holds all forms of freedom including freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom flow of information and freedom of choice in its belly. Seeking freedom is not a recent development in Iranian society. If you study Iran's history for the past century, one thing is very clear: today's protests-going-on-revolution has old roots. You could say the fight for democracy, what is thought by Iranians to be the only path that enables people to gain individual freedom and to establish social justice, has started more than a hundred years ago, by the constitutional revolution.
The incompetency and corruption of the kings and their royal dependents during the Qajar rule, the vast interference of foreign powers in the country's affairs, and the shift in western politics towards liberation were possible factors that pushed Iranian figures and people into rising up for freedom. But due to many obstacles, among them foreign interference especially by Russia and Britain and later on USA mostly because of the natural resources in iran like oil, and furthermore culture and religion, this fight for libration and democracy hasn't been won yet. There have been various attempts in this ongoing fight, two well known examples are Mohammed Mosadegh government and the notorious islamic revolution 1979.
But our main focus here is the issue at hand. Why Islamic Republic of Iran must go?
In every area you could think of, Islamic republic has f-ed up these last 4 decades. International affairs?! F-ed up. Financial prosperity? Safety and peace? Environment? Managing water resources? Saving endangered animals? Job making? Education? Women's rights? Queers rights? Ethnic groups right? Human rights? Even representing Islam? Freedom of speech? Freedom of religion? Freedom? All f-ed up.
I'm going to give you examples;
Women's rights:
This is important because women are the leads in this protests and their demands are at the center of it all. Women's rights are the heart of this revolution.
Women in iran cannot wear what they want. It's not just hijab that's mandatory, it's a specific dress code. I have a hijabi friend who loves wearing long sleeved blouses and long skirts. But she can't. Because hijab should fit into a specific style to be accepted and blouses are not acceptable clothings. There are should and shouldn'ts women must follow. Look at some examples:
Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media Tumblr media
No tight pants, no bright colors, no hair, no bare foot, no makeup, no short manto, no tight manto, no buttonless manto, no short pants, and check out, there's more.
So if you wear your hijab like below you're going to either get arrested or be thrown out of a governmental institute:
Tumblr media
But the thing is forced hijab is not the only or even the most important problem for women. Here is a list of women's issues in Iran, this is what gender apartheid means here: (tw for misogyny and rape)
Tumblr media
*Women can't drive a bicycle or motorbike in iran, the funny thing is they can sit behind a man on a motorcycle but they can't be the driver themselves!!!
*women can't go to stadiums to watch men's sports.
*women can't get a passport or travel without their husbands permission.
*women can't get married without their father or grandfather or court's permission
*women can't go to work or get a higher education without their husbands permission
*University students who are women in case of staying in a dormitory need their father or husband's written consent.
*Women can't even check into a hotel on their own
*women can't become judges because they're "emotional"
*women can't run for presidency because the first condition to become a candidate is to be a man
*Women can't decide to get a divorce, and their child custody goes automatically to the father so they should fight for both
*a woman's testimony in court has half the value of a man because they're not "trustworthy"
*a woman's blood money is half a man's
*a woman's share of inheritance is half her brother's
*a man can marry up to 4 wives but polyamory not only isn't recognized for women, there are serious punishments including death penalties for women who have sex with anyone who's not their husband
*The law considers sex within marriage consensual by definition and, therefore, does not address spousal rape, including in cases of forced marriage. It gets worse. Women are supposed, by law, to always say yes to their husband's sexual advances. A man can take a complaint to the court about her wife saying no to her for sex!
*fathers are considered the "owner" of their child therefore if a man kills his child he won't get appropriately punished and only spend a brief time in jail. This worsen honor killing in iran where some fathers kill their daughters for reasons like having a boyfriend.
*the legal age of marriage is very low, 13 for girls and 15 for boys, and even that's more of a formality. It's possible to get married at any age. That is by far one of the most alarming things about Iran's human rights violations, child-wives shouldn't exist.
...
The thing is, fighting for women's rights isn't something new in Iran, it has never been this widespread though. After the failure that was 1979 revolution, the government started to oppress women more and more as it went on. Women's protests against discrimination started early on and continued after islamic republic was stablished. Watch this report made by TIME around 2 years ago. Look how far we've come:

Hermione Granger x Reader
You sat in the library, engulfed by a book, not noticing anything or anyone. You sat in the corner, where nobody every came over, well almost nobody, you came, and one other student came. The other student, who visited the deserted corner, was the Gryffindor girl named Hermione Granger. You and Hermione were friends, and had been since the start year, where you had meet at the library, and it had been the beginning of a friendship. The friendship had blossomed more after Hermione`s friend, the famous Harry Potter, had to participate in an the Triwizard Tournament, unwillingly, and you were one of the few, to believe Harry, and you showed your support by helping Hermione with all her research.
Lost in the book, you did not see Hermione, that was staring at you, a stare so full of love. She had been observing you read, watching all the habits, you did while reading. When Hermione, after a while, had gotten herself together and stopped watching you, and sat down, you were in your own world. You could feel someone gently nudging you, that sent you back to the real world and did so you absently lifted your head. Your eyes meet with a pair of brown ones, that was filled with an emotion, you didn`t recognize and a smile, you returned the smile, that unknowingly would make Hermione melt, while closing the book.
You and Hermione kept looking at each other, for many unnecessary minutes, and then Hermione opened her mouth and was about to say something, but it all got interrupted. Because of the Eye contact and getting lost in each other’s eyes, you both had failed to notice the famous Viktor Krum, coming over to your little corner. You both was shocked when you heard a sound that made it clear that you and Hermione was not alone. You looked up and saw Viktor Krum, standing there, while looking nervously at Hermione. Hermione on the other hand, looked annoyed and uninterested, she even looked very close to be murderous.
You could feel you heart fall and crash on to the floor, when you heard the words or more correctly the question, Viktor Krum had asked Hermione, when he had gathered enough confidence. “Will you go to the Yule Ball with me?”, you looked speechless at the man. It was not only your heart that fell but also your hope. A hope, that Hermione was in love with you, because you had been in love with the girl for a long time. But you had kept your mouth shut, and now it was too late. Any plan of asking Hermione to the Ball, was gone, and the only left was a feeling of stupidity.
To say you were more that shocked, when you heard Hermione answer, was an understatement. “No, thank you”, she had said no, she had said no to a world famous quidditch player, a man that almost every girl would die, just with a chance of going to the Ball with the man.
Ironically, you were not the only one, that was shocked, Viktor Krum was also, he stood with surprise, and looked like he could not believe what had just happened. Eventually he came over the shock, and just walked away, you almost felt bad for the boy, but then again, he could literally get any girl, he wanted, Well except from Hermione.
Hermione had now, turned to the side, so you two sat face to face, she looked very nervous. You looked at her and concerned asked if something was wrong. “No, I’m fine, it’s just now that we are talking about the Yule Ball- “, you interrupted her, with “We weren’t talking about the yule Ball, you and Viktor Krum was.”, you said it with a probably to big smile, but who cared, Hermione had just said no to be Viktor Krum`s date, so maybe there was a little chance, that she would go to the ball with you. Then it hit you, “What if she said no, because she already got a date?”, and with that your smile died.
Hermione just looked at you, very annoyed, which you misunderstood and thought that she was annoyed that you brought Viktor Krum and the yule Ball up, so you tried to direct the conversation to another direction. That only worked for a couple a minute because Hermione was trying to direct the conversation back to the yule ball. This continued until Hermione could not take it anymore, her face got more and more angry for every second that went, until she finally snapped and yelled “God Damnit Y/N, I’m trying to ask if you want to be my date to the Yule Ball!”. This left you shocked, internally asking yourself if this was real, and if this really had just happened?
Hermione took your silence as a bad sign, so she began to collect her books, which snapped you out of your shocked daze. You ended up yelling “Yes, yes, Hermione Granger, I will be your date to the yule Ball.”. This made Hermione smile bigger than ever, and take you into a hug, with you blushing returned.
