Iran Bars Women from Public Live Screening of Euro's Soccor
Iran, where President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad has said women are highly respected, has barred women from watching public live screenings of Euro 2012 games because men might become rowdy.Rowdy men? Who would have thought? Sports and rowdy men...... In western societies men are under the obligation to control themselves... "It is an inappropriate situation when men and women watch football in (movie) theatres together," said Bahman Kargar, Iran's deputy police commander in charge of social affairs, according to the Iran Student News Agency. "Commander in charge of social affairs." Wonder if he has read Amy Vanderbilt's Complete Book of Etiquette? He explained that the "inappropriate" environment could cause men to become rowdy because "men, while watching football, get excited and sometimes utter vulgar curses or tell dirty jokes." He added, "It is not within the dignity of women to watch football with men" and said "women should thank the police" for the ban. I thank you, my sir, for never letting the word F**k pass these sensitive ears. I have to admit, I never did like that word, even as an expressions of a moment in time, so thanks for providing protection for me from that word. Now a good "dirty joke?" You will deprive me of them? Iran state television is airing the Euro games being held in Poland and Ukraine, and the games also are being shown in movie theaters. Being shown for "date night?" I guess not. Women are strictly segregated in Iran's Islamic society, and the country's laws demands that women dress according to the religious code. This is news.... in a news report? Iranian reporters are much like our own MSM. That little "aside" that must be added in the article.. "demands that women dress according to the religious code." Iran has a seat on the U.N. Commission on the Status of Women, and Iranian President Mahmoud Ahmadinejad previously has argued that Iranian women are "highly respected" while claiming that 70 percent of European women are physically abused. And this is to persuade me of what??? A senior Iranian cleric has declared women whose clothes are too revealing are to blame for earthquakes, which are common in the country. Hummmmm --- all pictures I see, women are covered from head to tail. And yet, Iran continues to have earthquakes? Seems a hypothesis that is hard to prove. But what do I know? I'm just a women, one with senior years. Posted by: Sherry 2012-06-11 |
