will the Iranian men in Diaspora finally wear the Pink Hijab in solidarity with millions of oppressed Iranian women inside the country?

I’m willing and ready
by Bitter Divorced Man on Mon Dec 14, 2009 03:24 PM PSTIn regards to the misunderstandings that have come about regarding the appropriate color to wear in solidarity with the men or women of Iran; I’m willing to change the color of my hijab from completely black to totally black. I hope this prospectus clears any misunderstandings that might have been felt by the unsuspecting prospectors.
Glad you added DIASPORA
by Jaleho on Mon Dec 14, 2009 01:55 PM PSTfor Iranian men wearing Pink Hejab in solidarity with Iranian women inside Iran. Clearly, Iranian men in DIASPORA do plenty of "clownish things" out of bikari and in the name of solidarity with REAL IRANIAN fighters.
But, I have a feeling that the shirzan Iranian women inside Iran who are in the forefront of REAL fight, are as disgusted by the type of men who show their solidarity by acting like clowns as they are by some Iranian women in diaspora who make their fight look like a cheap entertainment.
But I hear your too Azadeh jan, it is high time that Iranian men, inside and outside of Iran show real "mardanegi" and fight some in solidarity with Iranian women. Compared to what Iranian women have offered in the battle, many Iranian men should look at themselves as "namards."
Never!
by MallyJack_Secrets on Mon Dec 14, 2009 01:54 PM PSTWearing the hejab is a complicit act. By wearing the hejab, even a pink one, you are saying you agree to it
I will never agree that a hejab of any color should be worn by any woman or man.
The point is not to wear a hejab even, as a silent protest, the point is to take the damned thing off!
You want to protest the hejab, do this:
Declare an event on International Women's Day. All women outside of Iran will gather in public squares and central locations, call the TV and news reporters, and at precisely the same moment, put on a hejab for one minute.
At that exact time, women in Iran will be asked to gather and take off their hejabs for that same one minute. One minute should not cause them to be arrested. So it would largely be a safe protest. Just a quick show of resolve.
Free women (especially non-Iranians)would know what it is like to be forced to become physically oppressed for one minute, and the women in Iran would be able to enjoy one minute of freedom.
The emphasis of this symbolic act is that Iranian women can take the hejab off for one minute. This would be granted them by the rest of the world's women putting it on during that minute. The collected removal of it after the minute is over would be the resolution to help Iran's women keep it off.
Now that would be a global symbolic protest and true soldarity!
Incidentally pink is the color of cancer and while islam is metaphorically similar to cancer, you would not get the point across in the west. People would think you are supporting women in Iran who have cancer.They already think that most Iranian women choose to wear the hejab.
Nothing is Secret!
No problem Azadeh Jaan
by ramintork on Mon Dec 14, 2009 01:36 PM PSTSpecially after the support you've given me I would dress like lady Gaga if you ask me to (but please don't) LOL.
Actually when I forwarded my picture to JJ I along some of the men did say we are also doing this in support of women forced into Hijab.
