You know how I always say “Iranian women get it?” Well, they continue to fascinates me when they talk about their position in the family and in society. Not only are Iranian women aware of the double standards applied to them, but also they are vocal about the inequalities. My generation of Iranian women know are conscious of living in a patriarchal society. Though It might not always be easy to challenge the stereotypes and conservative beliefs, these women do all they can to let others know they defy “traditional” views on the female body and female roles.
One method, of course, is sarcasm (our favorite).
In this little prose, the female Iranian author uses the claims of religious figures and officials to make her point against them:
We live in a country where women have the absolute power and men are passive beings who have absolutely no will power and play no roles in anything!!! Do you ask why?? It is because in Iran:
If a woman doesn’t wear the Hijab, a man cannot control himself and goes wayward.
A woman shouldn’t get educated so the balance in society is kept and a man could continue his studies without distractions.
A woman shouldn’t work so the foundation of society stays intact.
A woman shouldn’t be economically independent for saving purposes and preventing extra spending for the man.
A woman should wear dark clothes that are three sizes big for her with closed-toe and flat shoes so a man is not provoked.
A woman should not go to cafes and tea houses or smoke so a man is not tempted.
A woman should not talk to her boss at work (if there is any work for her) since the job will not get done.
A woman should not go to parties or see a doctor so that men are not deviated.
A woman should not wear nail polish or sunglasses cause these things damage the foundation of a society.
A woman should not drive for it deviates men.
A woman should not be a journalist or photographer so she won’t get arrested.
A woman should not claim her dowery cause it puts the man under pressure and forces him to divorce her and look for another woman.
A woman should not ride bicycle so men are not seduced.
With these rules we see how men lack any power and inclination while the country is run by women. Women can completely take over the social, economical and cultural system of the country only by loosening the knot of their headscarves!!!!
