Summary
Iran announced plans to open a “hijab removal treatment clinic” to provide “scientific and psychological treatment” for women defying the country’s mandatory hijab laws, sparking outrage from activists and human rights groups.
Critics, including UK-based Iranian journalist Sima Sabet, condemned the clinic as “chilling” and akin to social exclusion.
Human rights lawyer Hossein Raeesi noted the clinic is unprecedented under both Islamic and Iranian law.
The move follows increased arrests, forced disappearances, and alleged abuses in psychiatric facilities targeting women and protesters in breach of hijab laws.
Deeply disturbing. It’s so easy to forget that this is a picture of Iran in the 1970s.
Who downvoted this, and why?
Fascists.

What do women of the same class look like now?

…in Teheran, while the rest of the country was pretty much still tribal.
While it’s absolutely true that the average Iranian is vastly, vastly more liberal than their government let’s not turn around and glorify the Shah regime either. You don’t need to go back in time to show Iranians in a positive light.
But you won’t find it in Teheran anymore. Iran was diverse then, now it’s as backwards in the big cities as it was in the country.
Iran didn’t turn tribal and is still diverse AF. Don’t confuse the people and overall culture with the backwards government which isn’t exactly popular.

Clinic: An establishment or room where women can endure repeated rape and beatings until they agree to wear a hijab.
I would rather blind all male who has a problem seeing a woman. This is the biggest man made crap in this universe. There is a starman waiting in the sky… They just laughing their ass off seeing this madness.
Some people are fucking insane, even just for thinking about something like this.
I don´t want to live on this planet anymore.
And a convenient brain surgery called a “lobotomy”
Will these treatments involve mineral supplements applied externally at high speeds?
I used to be able to read stories like this and be glad I didn’t live in a country that had nationally state-sponsored things like this.
I won’t be able to feel that way any more.
Did the fuckers who developed Project 2025 copy the Iranians? If not, they will add it.
I just can’t get into the headspace of someone who’s a big enough cunt to think any of this is a good idea. No matter how much slack I try to give conservative nutjobs, no matter how deep into the rabbit hole I imagine going, it’s not just dumb, but obviously dumb.
Why would the #1 backers of Palestine do this?
I thought that Islam was an open and accepting cult, but now I’m confused because this just seems oppressive and toxic!
Turns out shitty people are going to be shitty regardless of any group affiliation.
With Iran (and Afghanistan) being specifically an Islamic theocracy it can be a bit hard to separate the religion from this equation. Though why the other person decided to bring up Palestine, that’s more of mystery to me.
It’s because they’re bigoted.
No shit but this particular bigotry is happening in name of and (according to them) in accordance of Islam, in an Islamic theocracy.
It’d be like claiming some antiabortion Christian sentiments had nothing to do with Christianity. Especially hard to claim such when those sentiments are mainstream or aren’t that far off.
Leftists told me Iran is the good guy now though
The leftist that lives rent free in your head probably did, not one leftist in the real world (where there is grass and trees) has said this
Or maybe its the leftist that Faux news conjured up for him?
I’ve seen some play defense for Iran but I think it comes solely from the fact that Iran is at odds with the US. Some are very black and white like that.

I wasn’t really commenting on why they are “at odds”, just that since they are, some go USA bad -> Iran good.
American leftists are toxic as fuck now. Just as hateful and racist as the right
