    “I hate this dictatorship as much as the next person, but I find it extremely hard to believe that it would impose arbitrary rules that marginalise women”

    What world do you live in where misogynistic dress codes imposed by a patriarchal society (so essentially all of them) are somehow “unbelievable”?

    Like, this isn’t even accusing them of the serious crimes they commit, why are you people so quick to defend an oppressive state? (E: especially considering the flag in your profile which should mean you think all states are oppressive, which makes the whole thing even more bizarre)

      why are you people so quick to defend an oppressive state?

      Seriously? Doubting a ridiculous article about fashion with absolutely no sources is “defense of an oppressive state”? Is critical thinking now considered wrongthink here?
