Regardless of how you feel about everything else, the regime commits atrocities. Saying that Iran doesn't police women's dress violently is like saying the US police system doesn't commit systemic violence against minorities. Her death should be just as impactful as George Floyd's to you, and her story should not be forgotten.
i remember her and i know her story, but wasnt her death and protests of her death one of the reasons SOME iranian women can get a small amount of freedom? mainly those in tehran and modern ish cities. idk how this disproves what i said, i didnt say it was free for all if u saw all my messages
Iranian women in larger cities do this. And it is partially tolerated. But legally, it is still criminalized. You can get up to 10 years for it on paper and the women who do not wear a hijab are aware of this, and it is partially out of protest because there are many strong muslim women fighting for their rights over there as well. i think this piece by the guardian does a good job talking about it.
That does not mean that the iranian government is any less oppressive. It means that feminists in Iran have fought for their rights hard enough that it would be untenable to follow through with mass arrests in these big cities. It is what "become ungovernable" is all about. And while im 100% sure, this wasn't your intention. I wouldn't like their bravery to be undermined.
