They quote Harriet Tubman, saying "I freed a thousand slaves. I could have freed a thousand more if only they knew they were slaves."
Only a person such as me who is living in a society that unthinkable is accepted but the same crowd that unthinkable is happening to them, understand the severity of this sentence.
You may not believe this, but one of the biggest hurdles on the path to freedom in Iran is female hardliners , the believers mostly from older generations who can’t stand unveiled women, and girls.
Mostly uneducated, but not all, these women who had to cover themselves for many years, some by choice, others because of various social or cultural pressures, can’t stand youth, who show their beauty, or believe these young minds are defying God!...
َAt the same time, Islamic republic regime that can’t handle disobedient women anymore, (considering the regime is almost broke and don’t have the budget for such extravagances), struggling to survive, manipulate its own people, especially hardliners, to stand against their own kind. The results is exactly what the government desire, clash among people, & create chaos!
They make it look cultural & pure, but they're in fact deeply ferocious and cunning!
A poster that says: If you unveil in public, you create a 10-Richter earthquake in a man's heart, the debris of which falls on his wife's shoulders.
No matter how hard I think, I do not understand the meaning of this sentence!!!! But I guess it is effective on some level!!!
Another of their cultural freaky activities is attributing fake quotes to celebrities.
This poster says: Quoting Leo Tolstoy, a Russian writer: "The reason for the increase in divorce in Europe is corrupt civilization, sexual deviation, and lack of Hijab!!!!!"
And look at this one, that says: Hijab is the heritage of mothers!
Ironically, an older woman has unveiled in front of it to appose the phrase.
In the end, hese ridiculous silly gestures have only angered women and increased their hatred towards what was imposed on them.
And they take firm steps toward freedom... Waves are crashing over rotten beliefs and this movement, “Woman, Life, Freedom” is not going to fade away any time soon…
