Iran - misogyny is one of the principal and unchangeable aspects of the religious fascism ruling Iran

Iran - The religious dictatorship ruling Iran is a fundamentalist regime with inherent medieval characteristics, but one that has emerged in the 21st century. That is why in order to preserve its rule, before all else, it needs to continue suppression at home and export terrorism and fundamentalism beyond its frontiers.

The sharpest edge of the regime’s suppression is its misogynist character. The perspectives and rhetoric of the regime’s leaders, its laws, state institutions, and its treatment of the Iranian people are all bursting with misogyny. Misogyny represents the core of fundamentalism and reactionary ideology. Since its inception, the regime’s gangs launched attacks against women, chanting 'either wear a veil or get a slap in the face.' By instituting compulsory veiling, by humiliating and insulting women, by launching an extensive campaign to purge women from government positions, by prohibiting women from becoming judges, and by passing discriminatory laws, they have tried to push the Iranian women back as far as they possibly can. By suppressing and terrorizing women, they seek to bring the entire society under their control and force it into submission.

 Iran parliament bill: 1 million rial fine for women with improper veiling

Spokesman of the Joint Culture and Judiciary Commission in Iran's so-called parliament said a bill has been ratified by this body specifying a 1 million rial fine (around $30) for vehicles carrying women with improper veiling.

"According to Article 1 of the Virtue and Hijab Plan, drivers or passengers with improper veiling will be considered criminals and traffic police can take action against them," said Nasrollah Pejman-far. According to this article traffic police can also take action against drivers that have passengers not abiding by hijab regulations and also fine them 1 million rials.
