Iranian cleric says women cannot be president as 30 females try to have names added to the ballot

23. You're making things up yet again.

I didn't "denigrate" the female candidates. I said that their approach would not be successful, and they'd have better luck calling attention to the injustice that is the Persian Ballot by demonstrating in the streets. That's a simple fact, not a "denigration." I also said that successful majlis candidates who are female are tools of the regime, and that's not a denigration either--it's a fact. You don't get far in politics in Iran if you don't kowtow to the ulema. That's how the system is rigged. That is how the theocratic elites maintain their grasp on power.

The one who isn't reading for comprehension here isn't me. You're just arguing, mindlessly (and then trying to back away from your own words which are quite plain, unless and until you edit or delete them), without regard for the actual situation on the ground.

You have an idea about life in Iran that isn't consonant with reality. The "conservatives" didn't "win." In order for anyone to actually "win" the rules must be fair for all--not rigged in advance to permit for only an "acceptable" outcome.
