Khamenei accused Israel and the West for advancing notions of equality , which promotes earthly pleasures and the exploration of women. It appears that equality is all a “Zionist conspiracy.” Of course, such views would normally be viewed as perfectly insane but this is the religious head of Iran.
Khamenei warned that “These aberrant and neglectful people humiliate the role of a housewife while a housewife is actually in charge of raising and educating the most valuable product, which is a human being . . . unfortunately, sometimes inside the country and in some Islamic environments, tasks and expectations are ascribed to women that in fact collapse and humiliate their roles.”
The good news is that apparently all feminists now deeply regret their efforts to achieve equality: “Today, Western scholars and those who pursue issues like gender equality all regret their actions for the corruption they caused.”
Happy Women’s Day.
