I am in agreement that Iran sucks and their treatment towards women, in general, sucks even worse.  I hope they get toppled.

But I am under no fantasy that we are fighting in Iran because we give one iota of shit about that.

Trump made a miscalculation.  He thought that his time to strike was now, because of Israeli intel -- Bibi convinced him to move, against the better advice of his people.  Now Iran is in a stronger position and Trump has no way out.  He's acting a fool trying everything, but that's not how smart diplomacy works, so he's just making it worse.

The straight isn't Iran's to operate, nor ours to give away, so we need them to stop what is essentially piracy and blocking the boats, but we have no leverage.  It's really a quagmire.

Seems just a bit dramatic doesn't it? Iran has forced a mandatory dress code on women with limitations on travel, marriage, and child custody except by husband approval. THe husband can legally take multiple wives and the wife can do nothing about it.  removal from judicial roles, and restriction of what jobs they can hold.Their testimony only counts as 1/2 that of a man. Women are barred from watching certain sports in stadiums. There are no laws protecting against domestic violence or sexual harassment or being beheaded by your husband.

I'm curious as to what "women's rights" you think have been eliminated by Trump?  The right to murder an unborn person? That was the Supreme Court. I'm at a loss as to what else you could be thinking but you never cease to amaze me.

I am not defending Iran. But only a fucking moron thinks that the war is about giving women greater rights in Iran. 

One example is the gutting access for women to access medical care including in cases where the woman has died is a direct result of Trump appointment of judges with the intent of dying women medical care. 

Others include:

-- on his first day an executive order prohibiting all programs that promote inclusion, diversity or equity for women.

--reversed policies intended to close the gender pay gap.

--weakened Title IX rules, making it easier for schools to dismiss sexual harassment and assault complaints.

--made it harder for federal employees to file sexual harassment claims.

-- eliminated monuments and plaques celebrating women's contributions at federal monuments.

-- making it harder to file unfair pay and labor practices.

And that is just what I can think of off the top of my head,
