The CBC ran a story on youth in Tehran, where they interviewed a female rapper, members of a band, and a female rally car driver. I'm not sure if most of what was said was true (certain music being illegal, women not being allowed to go to football stadiums, etc), but I was infuriated. Anytime governments tell people how to live their life is overstepping their boundaries.
Also, they quoted a stat that shocked me. Something like 3/4 of the population are under 30. I can't imagine how frustrating it must be for this demographic to be forced to live by rules enforced by a bunch of hypocrites.
Certain music being illegal: Every kind of music with a woman singer is illegal since women are not allowed to sing in Iran. Many kinds of music are being illegal no matter if the singer is a male or not.
Women not being allowed to go to football stadiums: True that.
But I hate it when these kinds of examples are brought to show the lack of human rights in Iran. I'd be okay with watching the matches by TV
if as a woman, I was able to get my kids custody in case I was getting a divorce. I'd be okay with not being able to sing
if I, alongside 20 millions of other Iranian people, was able to choose my own president.
So what's up with Iran? Were the elections a sham or what? What is happening to the opposition leader? Is Ahchmadoofus just going to kill him and tell the people to swing from his nuts?
We're still in shock. People were all sure of winning. It was as clear as day that we're gonna win the election by almost 65% of votes against 30% for Ahmadinejad and now they say that the moron has won it by 62% of the whole votes. People wrote Moosavi, they read Ahmadinejad. It's just a matter of time until Europe and the US congratulate Ahmadinejad for the win though. The losers are us, people of Iran.
