Evidence of the rising role of women can be found here:

(it appears that my previous post was removed)

or you can go to the original Economist article.

I have shown evidence to disprove what you have said.

Now how about you showing some evidence for the ludicrous statement that you have made?

Dear Divaneh

by afyoun on

Your arguments - as a Divaneh - carries more rationality and logic than our "sane" muslim hamvatans here and back home.

They are so full of themselves that they even reject the simplest equation in life. Next the say Iranians are actually Chinese who migrated from Sweden to Iran which back then was located in Alaska  and was actually under saudi's sovereignty and in 6thAD they pulled it all the way down to the middle-east using emam-e zaman's turban.

So, 2 ≠ 4½  but  4= 2x2

And we let them rule our country.


choghok

islamic logic!

by choghok on

this is his logic 

woman = single man

single or married man = married man.

this leads to 

woman = married man. 

even in his twisted logic we get to the fact that man equals woman. 

A scenario made of the twisted logic. if a married woman and her unmarried brother get inheritance then they should be treated as opposite. The married female equals single man and unmarried man equals married.

also they are first thought to be given the same inheritance but then when god sees that one of them is single then automatically he gets twice as much as the married one.


divaneh

New theory of relativity

by divaneh on

This should be hailed as Iranian's own claim on relativity. As he said "een masaleh besyaar daghigh ast". A cat is not smaller than a horse, it's the horse that is bigger than the cat. Otherwise they are both the same size. It is called theory of Islamic ratio enhanced relative equality with the ratio of 1/2 for women.

I also wonder, do women pay half when it comes to Khoms and Zakaat or are they equal to men with the relativity ratio of 1/1?

You are right Agha Irani.  However, would you like to disprove what I said?

Your comment makes it clear how ignorant you are so I don't need to critique your absurd comment.


Shibb

So then if we stop

by Shibb on

So then if we stop expecting you to pay the expenses can we get our fair share? It's the 21st century. In every non-backwards place in the world we can take care of ourselves now.


jalaledin99

Let us be honest

by jalaledin99 on

Men have more responsibilties than women.  Men are expected to care for their wife and children, i.e. pay the expenses.  Given that reality, why shouldn't men be entitled to more inheritance than women?

Is this not true?

I see you are back to making foolish comments.

Women may not have had voting and inheritance rights in the early 20th Century US but that does not mean that its OK for it to happen in Iran in the 21st Century.  It was wrong back then and it is still wrong today.

This sharia that you are so keen to defend may have been suitable in Arabistan 1400 years ago; but like all the laws and ideology of this backward regime it has no place in the 21st Century anywhere on this planet, be it Iran or Arabistan.  This islamist ideology is doomed to fail and the sooner the better.  Good riddance!

His logic doesn't make sense

Hajagha, khar khodeti o haft jad o abadet.

Khar jan, no offend its just figure of speech.


Khar

2+2=5

by Khar on

He says: "Women don't receive 1/2, Men receive 2 times more" this is an Islamic Bullshit Estedlaal on equality!

Don’t Be Confused….

by Gharib on

He is applying "GAAP". ( Gibberish Akhondi Accounting Principles).

The same principles and formula they applied to the Votes......

It is easier to have black-and-white laws where the judgment is easier than to have different shades of gray!


khaleh mosheh

Its confusing

by khaleh mosheh on

because islamic law is a mess. It is backward and barbaric and not appropriate for the modern societies. Sadly the filthy Sharia law is being shoved down the throat of the Iranians with much gusto by the Khameinei, AhmadiNejad and the rest of the ugly IRI outfit.

Generous formula

by comrade on

One should not confuse the application with the justification. What's next then? Revival of slavery? Oops, it was never abolished; but transformed.

so a married woman with children . . .

by Saman Ahmadi on

would get twice as much as a single man with no children.

i'm confused.

Sargord Pirooz, don't make me laugh buddy!

by Everybody Loves Somebody ... on

You have a grandfather!? I have always been under the impression that they left you in front of the door!? 

 


Sargord Pirouz

Up until recent times, this

by Sargord Pirouz on

Up until recent times, this formula was actually quite generous. In the United States, for example, women had no inheritance rights whatsoever right into the first quarter of the 20th century. All of the major rights now enjoyed by American (including the right to vote in an election) have all taken place within the ongoing lifetime of my 102 year old grandfather. 

 

What's my point? My point is, things change. And applying today's standard in one place, is highly unrealistic in applying it to another.

He is a "K** khol".


comrade

Islamic math

by comrade on

2 is not half of 4. It is 4, which is twice as much.

The same line of mathematical logic will definitely apply to our( I mean their) nuclear physics: " We didn't enrich the uranium to the bomb grade, we made an impoverished bomb." Or, something like that...

That'll shut em up

by Jahanshah Javid on

Now I feel a lot less guilty when I explain to women why they are worth a lot less than I am. It's so great being a man... in Islam.

Again I am confused...

by Ali P. on

Sooooooooooooooooo....

X = Y/2

but

Y# 2X   ???

 

I guess this would be Islamic mathematics.

 

 

The father dies and leaves $3,000 for his kids, a daughter and a son.

The girl gets $1000, and the son $2000, according to either one of your formulas!

Right???

What the hell am I missing?????
