Women such as the one in the video are the real feminists, who are taking actual risks to stand up for women’s rights. Meanwhile, Leftist feminists in the West are donning the hijab, the symbol of oppression against which these Iranian women are rebelling, in order to show solidarity with women who they claim are oppressed in the West for wearing the hijab. The real oppression is elsewhere.

“Shocking moment Iranian woman is dragged across the street and beaten as crowd cheers – because she was dancing in public and did not wear a hijab,” by Ross Ibbetson, Mailonline, June 18, 2019:
This is the shocking moment an Iranian woman is dragged across the street and beaten as the crowd cheers because she was dancing and not wearing a hijab.
The woman can be seen standing in the central reservation of a busy road as she is jeered by men in the city of Rasht, on Iran’s Caspian Sea coast.
A crowd appear to be in a stand-off with the woman before a few men approach her, with one grabbing her around the head and forcing her to the ground.
He then takes hold of her ankles and brutally drags her over the tarmac, prompting a massive cheer from the crowd of men.
After she is released she gets to her feet and goes towards her attacker you knocks her onto her backside with a hit to the face.
According to Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad she was set upon because her head was uncovered and she was dancing.
The victim can be heard shrieking throughout the footage as men laugh in the background.
The video then cuts to her having been released and walking away, though clearly still traumatised by what has just gone on.
The Islamic dress code, in place since the 1979 revolution, considers veiling obligatory for any female above 13 in Iran and says they should cover themselves from head to toe while disavowing any figure-hugging dress.
Breaking the rules can result in fines of up to 500,000 rials (£17) and up to two months in prison….
