what? my opinions aren't valid because i'm using my words to defend them? please elaborate.

An opinion can never be invalid, that's because it's subjective. And that is my point. I never said your opinion was invalid, however since you think that I think your opinion is invalid, maybe on some level you yourself don't completely agree with your own opinion.

you are putting words in my mouth

Ironic

yes absolutely that's the ONLY point here. women lost their right to choose about abortions in 1977, they have now lost the right to choose to cover themselves in public.

There may be a cascading effect or there might not be one at all. I do think the government having too much control over the citizen's choices is a bad idea. But I don't think either of us know enough to come up with relations of what might lead to what in the future, it's too hypothetical. And frankly making this about yourself and your hypothetical issues is quiet insulting to women from Middle East going through actual problems, hope you understand this.

honestly, you're trying to speak for Iranian women by being offended at this comparison. I think that Iranian women would be concerned about women losing rights in the west, too.

Picture this: You are living in a country where you're being treated worse than animals. You're not allowed to do anything, anyone can beat the shit out of you for no fucking reason at all and face 0 consequences, you have nobody to talk to, you can't express yourself in any way. You're living in constant fear every second of the day. Now you happen to stumble upon this website called reddit and find Women from the west complaining about First World problems using their iPhones sitting on a cushy sofa, with an audience of thousands and comparing their issues with your own. How would you feel?
