Don’t you know? The more Western a woman dresses, the more free she is. Brittany Spears in the early 2000s for example, she dressed in all the latest Western fashions at the time, and was very free!

Conventionally attractive young woman in non country!

Maybe they’re not so bad?

I thank the mods here that there are volcel police because this geopolitical brand of gooning really fucked up tbh. Like the shit mfs tried to pull with Ukrainian refugees and tried to take advantage. Fuck right off

Here is that fucking sub again. r/interestingasfuck has got to be an opp.

Unfortunately the only thing which motivates large portion of male population whether liberal or conservative is to what degree they can objectify women. This is why Israel uses models as IDF propaganda.

You mean to tell me women look like women no matter the religion? This is the first I’m hearing this, wow.

More of porn addicted westerners doing the “women of country x before revolution”. I was wondering when it was going to come out. (also, this again is reminding me of the picture below)

On a side note, is there much info on the dress code in Iran? From what I can see, it’s mainly about covering your legs from the ankles up, covering arms from the elbows up, and covering the top of your head if you’re a woman. And even then I imagine foreigners get less hassle.

Like, all of the pictures of Iranian women in Chabod (the typically-black head-to-toe covering) is purely exploiting for propaganda purposes the women who congregate in their choice of clothing.

Those women have more autonomy over their appearance and modesty than a lot of women do in the west. We may not have formal religious or moral police, but instead we have at least a third of society who harass, assault, and ---- women deemed “not modest enough”. We have recreated modesty police culturally yet talk of liberating women into our own fucked up systems of misogyny.

Unpopular opinion: critical support.

Hear me out.

More than anything, this pattern is caused by patriarchy.

Racism is obviously at play, but it only adds flavor. Someone mentioned people mourning the loss of “big booty latinas,” the operative words are clearly “big booty.” It’d only be slightly less gross if they said “big booty women.”

The patriarchal belief that many people have is “all else equal, attractive women have more value than unattractive women.”

Patriarchy encourages infinite debate on exactly how much value a women’s attractiveness has, and the common belief is that very attractive women are highly valued.

These pictures are only interesting to chuds because western media has systematically dehumanized folks the middle east so that our governments could attack them without public backlash.

They have been propagandized to believe that people in the middle east have no value, and these pictures challenge that.

Ultimately, these pictures are weaponizing patriarchy against imperialism. “Oh my god, I didn’t realize we were bombing something of value” is a realization that more folks needs to have, but it’s really icky that this was an effective way to do it.

I choose to believe the OP made an intentional decision to do that, and the fact that it caught on means that it worked.

If the goal is that more folks see people in the middle east as humans with value, I’ll excuse leveraging people’s existing shitty beliefs to do so.

The ends justify the means, but the means justify a shower.
