this is so scary 
, but it's also kinda illuminating 
. i mean think about it, when we let societal pressure dictate our actions, we're basically letting fear control us 
. the fact that these women were just shopping and living their lives, yet were attacked for not conforming to certain norms, is just heartbreaking 
. it's a reminder that we need to be more mindful of how our choices affect those around us 
.
... what drove him to lash out like that? was he struggling with his own feelings of being left behind by modernity 
? or was this just a momentary lapse in judgment? either way, it highlights how we need to approach each other with empathy and understanding 
. we can't just write off people as "bad" or "good" - there's always more to the story 
.
... like, this guy didn't have to resort to violence because he's so deeply ingrained in these outdated values. It's just a sad reminder of the work we still have to do when it comes to women's rights and equality everywhere 
news should be about more than just people's outdated views on women's rights lol... and honestly, I think it's time we stop making excuses for why Iranian women are still expected to cover themselves up. it's 2025, not some ancient time when women were treated like property 
...
i dont get why ppl still got hate in their hearts towards women who wear whatever they wanna wear, its not hurting anyone 
its just a personal choice. the fact that some ppl still think it's okay to throw yogurt at someone's head 
is super disturbing 
we need more love and understanding in this world 
. And that the women were unveiled too... I guess you could say that's what triggered his anger or whatever 
.
.
it's so sad to see people still holding onto these old-fashioned values that are basically suffocating women in Iran 
. and what really gets me is that the man was hidin' his face in the footage... like, are we tryin' to hide from reality here?
