Me mocking someone for being upset that another culture asks something so trivial of them. It's like getting mad at someone for asking you to remove your shoes at the door.

Did you find this filed under shitty analogies missing the point? What could you possibly think the crux of the issue is if you somehow managed to make an example void of mentioning gender?

It's openly known that woman are repressed in Iran.

I'm not disputing that.

What I am disputing is a cartoon caricature view of the place.

It does better than we do when it comes to women in STEM.

What's the problem here? She doesn't want to wear this thing because she feels like it's misogynistic. That's 100% fine. Imagine the outrage if women were forced to remove their Hijab when participating in a tournament in Europe or the US.

You want to wear it? Wear it.
You don't want to wear it? Don't wear it.
Simple.

I get that the iranian woman is exited about the championship in her country but mandatory hijab for women is a no go. You cant force religious symbols onto others. Imagine everyone had to wear a cross during sporting events in the US... absurd.

I'd support the boycott.

Good. No one should ever be forced to wear a head scarf.

Well ain't this thread something.

No one should be forced to wear a religious symbol for a sporting event. This shouldn't even be up for debate.

As a general rule, I feel like international sporting events shouldn't be hosted in countries where participants are required by the state to wear particular attire.

Well ain't this thread something.

And your post conveys nothing.
