    Looked like a weird website and turns out it is pretty sketchy

    There’s another article about how he still treats women poorly, based on comments earlier this week. And it’s even pro-Ayotollah, but still clear how bad he is

      This stuff is all a show. He’s a smart man who understands that by slowly doling out small changes he can appear progressive on the broader world stage, which shields his government from international criticism.

      Started in 2015, the account appears to have gained followers during the height of the pandemic as one that posted daily coronavirus case numbers. It’s since morphed into an account that posts about daily news events with no links to published stories or citations.

      Thanks for the links. I’ll ignore this until it’s reported somewhere reputable.

      It’s translating a statement from Khamenei. Not the hardest thing in the world.

        Good, then it should be done by a legitimate source, not a spam one that is known for not citing sources.

            Something reputable? Something that doesn’t fixate on making dictators look good without covering the full story of his comments?

                So you’re a fan of right wing shills? Not sure what you’re trying to say

                    I cited a pro-Ayatollah news source that gave a more complete version of this story lol. This site is so bad it’s not even good enough to match state-run propaganda outlets.

                    If you really think they give a shit about women’s rights, maybe you’re the one who needs to mix up your media diet a bit. I’m amazed that there are people who don’t believe that a fascist is anything other than a fascist, but ig people are still out here supporting Trump too

                    Edit: anyone wanna bet whether this guy is a Tiennamen square denier? I’m sure he read it in one of his news outlets

          You consider a source illegitimate because Twitter doesn’t like it?

          Hmm…

            No, because they’re publishing a story that nobody else is that’s weirdly pro-Ayatollah

              In your article:

              Ayatollah Khamenei also mentioned the issue of housework, saying, “The perception that housework is a woman’s duty is absolutely incorrect and the tasks within a family should be undertaken with a mutual understanding from both sides.”

              What is your complaint?
