Under that eye, gurl! Next on Oprah.
Margaret Atwood saw it coming

‘modesty’ is code for victim-blaming rapists
“Think about the children” is code for “look over there at some other group while we molest children”
Considering 70s styles, they look like a wild cross of modern for the 70s, and modern for today. Like if you saw them walking down the street in America today looking like this, you wouldn’t think they’re going to a 70s party…but there’s definately 70s influence there.
And today, they’d be murdered in the streets for wearing that.
I want to upvote you for being factually correct, but I want to downvote you because I disagree with the message.
Not even sure what I should do with that.
Correct
Oh, I hate that message, too. My mom is 73 and married to a woman, and I’m terrified of what will happen to them.
Like what will happen do you think? Serious question.
They’ll be rounded up into camps like the homosexuals in Nazi germany.
That would definitely be a bad outcome.
Weep
I feel like hairstyles are a huge part of the times. Those hairstyles with the bottoms upturned just scream 70’s to me. The clothing is something I could totally see today.
Styles tend to be a bit cyclical. There’s plenty of 70s stuff that’s popular at the moment.
The flip hairstyle.
More like US flavor of Nirenberg laws… ( Which were inspired by Jim Crow laws, so it’s a fool circle)
Oh god, apologism for the fascist shah, take it back to Reddit.
The the government Iran had in the 70’s was the result of a CIA coup to oust the progressive leader Mohammad Mossadegh who became prime minister with overwhelming popular support and reclaimed control of Iran’s oil from the British colonizers who had made an extremely exploitative deal with a different authoritarian dynasty before the country had any form of democracy - a deal, which despite being extremely favorable to them, they still consistently broke, lying about how much oil they were taking. This coup crushed Iran’s fledgling democratic movement and reforms, and the shah proceeded to use secret police to hunt down and exterminate his political opponents, primarily leftists. In order to give the country the appearance of modernization, he banned women from wearing traditional religious garb. In other words, even then the government was still controlling how women dressed. This shit is falling for decades old propaganda from an awful government.
Because the shah was so successful in suppressing and killing leftists, when he fell out of favor as a Western puppet and lost foreign support, guess which faction remained that had the power to take advantage of the situation? The Islamic fundamentalists. The modern Iranian state didn’t just spring up from nowhere, it came about as a result of the actions of the CIA and the shah.
Did you mean “before their politicians wanted to get fair prices on oil”?
You’re conflating the 53 coup of Mossadegh with 79 revolution and eventual takeover of said revolution by theocratic fuckheads.
