Roj Bash Kurdistan

i dono if this belongs in this forum but its news from a news site and if it says kurdistan province then i guess this is kurdistan news for this... nvm just read -_-

NCRI - The State Security Forces in the city of Marivan, Kurdistan Province, arrested a man under the pretext of thug and paraded him around the city in a humiliating manner, wearing him female clothing.

The degrading measure was carried out on Wednesday, April 17, Kurdistanmedia website reported.

Apart from torture and execution, this is another common method used in Iran as a means of oppression.

Perhaps it was done because the man was a Kurd or perhaps this is a common punishment

I actually think it is a BRILLIANT idea, and one that I wish England would use, as well as locking criminals in Stocks:



Punishment does not deter criminals and in England 50% are caught re-offending within the first year

My taxes pay for criminals to be punished

It is not a new punishment in iran : for these brainwashed islamists, being dressed as a woman then being a woman is probably a great shame.

Some years ago, a student prisoner had been taken in picture by policemen with a hijeb on his head. Iranian services wanted to humiliate him, but in answer, many other Iranian students took photographies of themselves with a woman's scarf on their head, stating "we are all (the name of the student)".

Now Eastern Kurds do the same :

This picture presented to the Iranian Judiciary System and the judges who sentenced a male criminal to wearing traditional Kurdish women’s costume in public as a punishment. There is no doubt that Iranian Judiciary System has attempted to scorn and humiliate women society and their traditional clothes in particular Kurdish tradition costumes. I am honored so much to wear this costume I merely wanted to protest such shameful sentenced which executed by Iranian Judiciary authorities executed at Marivan-Kurdistan province in Iran. This traditional costume is belonged to all women in the Kurdish Societies, although, wearing it is a great honor neither a punishment nor inferiority for me. Shame belonged to those men which in their everyday life discriminate women with their prejudicial and disrespected attitudes

Noe the same campaign has started in Eastern Kurdistan : Kurdish men wear women's clothes and send the pictures on Internet :

Im not happy with this cross dressing protest FB campaign going on. I seen a few more pictures of Kurdish men wearing womans clothing, and it looks terrible. People all over, that want to insult Kurds, are going to use the pictures to make fun of Kurdish men. Iwish these guys calculated the consequences of this before they started wearing their mothers clothes and posting the pics on FB. Just because the Iranian authorites are perverted and sick, doesnt mean that they should protest it like this, there is better ways.

At the contrary, I think that people will laugh at Iranian authorities. The one who plays the fool for mocking others' foolishness is the winner.

well you are not a Kurdish man, so your opinion will naturaly differ.

Well, these Kurdish men, obviously, think like me.

And do you find so terrible when Kurdish women wear men's clothes ?

These woman are wearing Kurdish military fatigue, not pretty little dresses. those guys look like faggots. Why are you... Never mi.d ill be nice

That has something to do with sexism (not especially from you, but general bias) : a man wearing female clothes is ridiculous. A woman wearing male clothes is heroic, pretty or whatever you want to add.

Why ? There is no logical reason, except that in common opinion, even unconsciously, womanhood' appearance is a humiliation for a male, though at the contrary, a woman being like a man could be judged shameless for religious people, but not ridiculous.

The corrupted idea is not mine, it comes from the idea of women's inferiority. And that Iranian judge believes it also : For humiliating a man, he dressed him as a woman. I am sure he would have never the idea to dress a woman in men's clothes for humiliating her. Because in his mind, it would not be a shameful punishment.

Come on, its humiliating to force a man to wear womens dresses.

This protest action is senseless and stupid, because they protest for womens dresses, but the iranian police dont insulted the traditional Kurdish dresses, they only wanted to humiliate the men. They just use traditonal dresses, because in this region only this womens dresses exist.

They should protest against that they are forced to wear womens dresses and not to do that abnormal thing freely for what they are forced by the iranian police to do that.

If it would be the opposite, you would also be against that. Then you would argue that a man have the freedom to wear men and womens dresses but a woman can only wear female clothes.

But its still not true what you said, because since when is it normal for women to wear mens clothing?

Both genders have their own dresses and its humiliating to force them to wear the clothing of the other gender.

There were time when dresses were common to both gender, but since dress is becoming a female attribute, men stopped to wear it. Later Western women began to emancipate themselves, so they could wear 'boyish' clothes like trousers or denim. And now it is 'normal'.

But the contrary did not happen : No men, for the moment, dared to wear dress or skirt (except Scottish) though a dress can be comfortable for a man also. Because female status is still considered in mind as 'inferior'.

Both genders have their own dresses and its humiliating to force them to wear the clothing of the other gender.

But Iranian police did want to humiliate a male student by taking picture of him with a woman's scarf (and then many Iranian male student took pics of themselves with a female scarf, so it is not a new kind of protest in Iran) ; and now for humiliating a man he was condemned to wear woman's dress.

You say that the contrary would be also humiliating but in Iran it never happened : no girl, no woman had to wear male clothes as a humiliation or a punishment. So we have to face the fact that some things are culturally implanted in minds, and especially in an Islamist state : wearing female clothes for a man is a dishonor, but not the contrary.
