ParagoneIn Iran, Marriageable age is defined at 13 years for girls and 15 years for boys, but marriage is possible at any age with the permission of the father of the bride.
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Marriage_in_Iran
Define āpedophileā, given the fact quoted above.
NO minimum age for girls to be married, if their male-guardian authorizes it??
Ideological āweāre inherently right & theyāre inherently wrongā pseudologic can go eat rocks.
I donāt think anybody would be competent to marry below 21?
( full brain myelation: the weirdness messing-with function is finished, then, which is why places having 21 as the legal-drinking-age have noticeably fewer road-deaths created by young drivers: unfinished brains are much more easily derailed )
Something like that.
The evidence of the high-drinking-age eradicating much road-slaughter proves, in my eyes, that age-of-maturity ought be there.
( mind you, Iām against the idiotic āyouāre either a child XOR an adult: thereās no such thing as any intermediate level of developmentā dogma.
We need to have multiple different ages of responsibility: graduated growing-up, if thatās a good phrasing of it.
Both for responsibilities & rights.
Same as at the other end of life: remove rights as responsibility deteriorates, based on actual-performance measurement.
Make the legal-framework match Nature, not hold-to ideology )
Childhood & youthhood ought be much less stressful, much more exploring their, & lifeās, meanings.
Merely an opinion.

zergtoshiNah this is well beneath that, imagine thinking that the Iranians are all Islamic fundamentalists in 2026. Total cultural illiteracy. How exactly does Iran have 20x more PhD per capita that the US, an (at least) even gender split across the sciences, 95% WOMEN CHEMISTS, and also practice child marriage outside of the most rural scenarios possible? How do you think we produce development that precedes the material conditions that consistently lead to social progress? With bombs? It is the only option that liberals support with their ignorant statements.
How would this be an appropriate response to the post anyways? Is this representing a trend in Iranian society towards or against social justice by directly linking liberation of girls to liberation of the nation by military means? A missile program driven and expanded by women in STEM, if that needs to be spelled out.
Go do a little amateur social science research, and laugh at yourselves. Afterwards, learn the basic history of ISIS and sectarianism in the region, understand that Iran is the primary obstacle to ISIS and Israel raping every single child there.
Whataboutism implies that child marriage is actually a common or upwardly-trending practice in Iran! Whataboutism (a stupid term anyways) here would be me pointing out the US is making child marriage more legal & tolerated in some regions.
Nah, I stick to this meaning:
āWhataboutismā or āwhatabouteryā (as in, ābut what about X?ā) refers to the propaganda strategy of responding to an accusation with a counter-accusation instead of offering an explanation or defense against the original accusation."

Fine but I retain my general doubts about the ability of westerners to distinguish chill Shias from ISIS, let alone the non-sectarian nature of the AoR opposed to fundamentalist Sunni ISIS led by gulf monarchies
That assessment I agree with.
Apparently itās true for a vast majority of westerners and the more true the less educated they are.
But hey, isnāt that a general problem? I mean the ability to manipulate people easier the less theyāre educated?

Sure but we need to keep in mind how the most educated are managed via universities, publishing houses + magazines (yes those still exist especially the most high-falutinā of them) etcetera, and generally controlling the information they have to work with in the first place. Itās the apartheid hoarding of education in the US that ensures even the highly-placed are ignorant where it counts, and the most prideful people imaginable.
Just to bring things full circle with the stuff about Iranās unexpected growth of industrial capacity, I will add that itās this very system of censorship and financialization of intellectual life that hobbles not only US ability to improve its indst. cap. but makes it blind to improvements other countries are putting in place that would unseat their established economic order. Which is why they canāt keep up with Russia, let alone Iran anymore (lol meant the other way around but itās a funny slip and on-brand so who cares). Yes I know thatās trailing off from our discussion but people must learn of the #geniuswomen strategy
