Surely you realize that the Iranian government, which is a religious theocracy, is famously one the most conservative governments in the world lol.

Absolutely, but there has been a staggering level of denial from those groups regarding the nature and threat of the Iranian government. Reddit is complicit as well, as it has been infected with pro-Iranian propaganda for years.

The Iranian people themselves are young and progressive, so when the day finally comes that they get self-determination, I have very high hopes for Iran going from one of the worst regimes on the planet to one of the best influences in the region.

Yes, I'm Iranian.

That's why I support Hijab bans in western countries. I understand that it's not a choice and how foundational of a norm it is for the cultural subjugation of women.
