Also, are we ignoring the fact that, unlike many of the nations we live in, Iran is a theocracy with a ruling class that notoriously has no reason to give a single shit about the will of the people? One that believes that the sort of oppression these women are protesting is literally ordained by God?

So you don't think voting is pointless?
Of course I don’t. My vote give me a voice in governing the State (at least, that’s how it works here). A petition, on the other hand has no force of law. Signing petitions is just something people do to salve their conscience.

Weird how a bunch of foreigners clutching their pearls and signing a letter isn’t going to convince a theocratic dictatorship to mend their ways, innit?

You would, but that’s only because you’re an ignorant fucktastrophe of a human being.

note to self - add fucktastrophe to favorite words/phrases right up there with festering fucktangle. Try to work into conversation more often.
