      Curious how this is so far from many people's thoughts. All responses about what women "should" do. Like they're Martians, or something.

      Men in Iran wore hijab to support women's freedom to choose so male western advocates of this have a precedent.pic.twitter.com/4fL2IcqMf5

      Iran is the non-US world & the men are protesting women's lack of right to choose so I'm realy not sure what you're getting at.

      I'm glad there are men protesting the fact that women can't choose to wear the hijab. What will happen though when the women also so choose?

      They get prosecuted. That's what the protest is against. That law.

      So basically pointless. Because there isn't a law is there? There's a religious decree that's unlikely 2 b changed by millions that adhere.

      Yes, there's a law. They are protesting the law. They want to change the law. http://rarehistoricalphotos.com/women-protesting-hijab-1979/ … Part of this: http://mystealthyfreedom.net/en/

          Religious decrees can be made but shld be able to be ignored. The Iranian law is for all women believers or not.

          You might think protesting unjust laws are pointless and you might be right but the alternative is accepting them.

          We live in a world where Saudi Arabia gets voted onto the UN's women's rights counsel. I just don't see how this protest does anything.

          So, women shouldn't protest forced veiling in Iran because it won't remove Saudi Arabia from the UN Women's Right's Counsel?

          This I won't respond to since I made no such claim or conclusion. I will tackle the other one though.

          Then what did you mean by the former tweet? Was it just a non-sequitur or do you see a connection between Saudi thing & Iranian protests?

          1/2 I'll be honest, I can't keep up with you. Though I definitely tried. I think the bigger problem is with the religion of Islam itself...

          Sorry. I've been told I do this. Absolutely the bigger problem is with the religion of Islam itself.

          I guess I'm just too cynical to believe anything will change considering the state of belief in the Muslim world. Must be a better way.

          I'd be lying to you if I said I had anything to add to that conversation. But I don't think Nike selling an athletic hijab is the answer.

          Iranian women protesting don't want to wear one at all, athletic or not. If the law forces them, it might at least let them do sport.

          But I don't really think this is connected either. If Nike does or doesn't make one, it's unlikely to help women who don't want to wear one
