March 8th is the international day of shame for men throughout the world, or at least it should be.
March 8th is the International Women’s Day.
On this day men can reflect on the misery and injustice they heap on women solely because they’re women.
As far as Iran is concerned, March 8th is the day men in Iran can reflect on their misplaced machismo. Iranian men have allowed, and in many instances, are cooperating with the ruling Islamist Neanderthals - “reformers” and all - who for the past 35 years not only been practicing misogyny, have codified and made it the law of the land.
March 8th is the day Iranian men and few Neanderthal Islamist women have to hang their head in shame.
For what is being done by men to women, March 8th is the day on which as a man I feel more ashamed than other days.
I’m sick and tired of this shame!

Reportروز جهانى زن مبارك باد
اگر مردى بيا ايران و زن باش
بيا همچون زنان اين وطن باش
بيا و بين كه اين اجحاف ها چيست
شمارم من ز يك تا نمره بيست
به دستور پدر شوهر بگيرى
يكى آقاى بالا سر بگيرى
سپس بر طبق قانون الهى
بيفتى با سرت درتوى چاهى
ز روى اقتصاد و روى سنت
تو هم تمكين كنى و هم اطاعت
و اينكه طبق دستورات دينى
به حكم او تو يك منزل گزينى
و نام تو سپس منزل بنامند
و يعنى اينكه خشت و گل بنامند
حجاب و روسرى اجبار باشد
سلاحى ضد استكبار باشد
...
يقيناً اينكه خشم و كينه زن
ز ريشه بر كند افكار موهن

ReportIt is women who complain that society leads them to being treated like a piece of meat.

ReportI don't remember Neanderthals attacking Iran, forcing us to worship an invisible dictator. I wonder if Neanderthals beat their tent wearing wives?

ReportAn example of "Stupid Thought" is to imply that the worth of one human is less than the worth of another human ( and then to give a basis for it religion, sex, race, age etc). Human worth is equal for all, because it can not ever be earned, it is something that has been given by ones creator and no one has to do anything for it. Khomeini, Mother Teresa, Cyrus the Great, Abraham, Hitler, Jesus, Mohammed, Mohammed Reza Pahlavi and each of your parents were all given equal worth by their creator. What they did with the gifts they were given and the respect they earned is another discussion.

ReportIslamic Neanderthls is an insult to Neanderthals

ReportYou are insulting the harmless Neanderthals!
Saman – Just Iran and politics.
ReportEy, if you say women are so equal and strong, then why don't they make Iranian men change the rules or start a revolution? OH wait, it's all talk and no bark. Misogyny sucks but so does misandry (Hatred of men). Be smart and dont support feminism.
P_J. – An Iranian!
ReportNeither one of the two, HATREDS, is or should be accepted. Trouble is that it has been women who have been on the receiving end, from beginning of time!

Report"strong" as in muscle?
If that is what you mean, I did not say that.
The point is, as human beings, women are equal to men. That means men who cannot give birth are equal to women who cannot bench press 300 kilos like some men can do.
Saman – Just Iran and politics.
ReportIn some sense women are equal, not all. You would have to be delusional to think men and women are exactly the same.
Im all for job Equality in pay and opportunity as long as the person can meet the requirments.

ReportWith slight change to your comment:
"In some sense men are equal, not all. You would have to be delusional to think women and men are exactly the same.
Im all for job Equality in pay and opportunity as long as the person can meet the requirements."
do you have any problem with the above comment?
ps. those who go for the men and women are not "exactly the same" argument, are overlooking the issue of human beings are EQUAL in all rights, period.

ReportMen are more beneficial to society no matter how you look at it. That's just the truth. Of cource opportunity in society should be open for all.

Reportمن منم . من یک زنم . آزادگی پیراهنم
عشوه از پا تا سرم . لیکن ز سنگم . آهنم
من منم . من مادرم . دوستم . رفیقم . همسرم
شیره جانت ز من . چادر مینداز بر سرم
روبهک من شیر زنم ، خاموش تو ، من روشنم
با سلاح دین دگر آتش مزن بر خرمنم
با سلاح دین دگر آتش مزن بر خرمنم
تاب گیسویم سرابی بیش نیست
نقش بیهوده بر آبی بیش نیست
این لب لعل و حدیث چشم مست
بر لب مست خرابی بیش نیست
وصف ابروی کمان و تیر مژگان سیاه
حربه و افزار جنگ شعر نابی بیش نیست
من منم . من یک زنم . عطر هوس دارد تنم
نطفه هستی درم . از جان و از دل میتنم
روبهک من شیرزنم . خاموش تو . من روشنم
با سلاح دین دگر آتش مزن بر خرمنم
تا بدانی چیست جان و جوهرم
دستی انداز و تو دریاب گوهرم
نیمه تنها . مرا از خود بدان
من برابر با تو . جنس دیگرم
بال و پر بگشا که اندر راه عشق
بال پرواز گر تویی من شهپرم
من منم . من یک زنم . آزادگی پیراهنم
عشوه از پا تا سرم . لیکن ز سنگم . آهنم
من منم . من مادرم . دوستم . رفیقم . همسرم
شیره جانت ز من . چادر مینداز بر سرم

That was also my point. The Vegetarian advertisement (which is also very harsh because they have used a woman's nude body, why not a man??) has nothing to do with the Woman's Rights!
