If a religion should impose their female followers a strict dress code, then in equality the religion should also impose the same strict dress code for their male followers.

When a MORALITY POLICE is needed to enforce religious laws, then the religion is not from the heart.

 

Why Some Brave Iranian Men Are Now Wearing The Hijab

Since the Islamic Revolution in 1979, Iranian law has prohibited women from appearing in public with uncovered hair. This compulsory modesty is enforced by the country’s Gashte Ershad – often called the “morality police.” In addition to the uniformed police, the Iranian government recently added an additional 7,000 undercover members of the Gashte Ershad to enforce the law. If a woman is caught, punishment can be severe, including lashes and imprisonment. In 2014, 3.6 million Iranian women were warned, fined or arrested by the morality police for not wearing proper hijabs.

In the past few years, however, some women have begun to revolt.

In 2014, Masih Alinejad, an Iranian journalist, began a Facebook page called “My Stealthy Freedom,” asking women to share photographs of themselves in public with their hair exposed. “In Iran there are millions of women who are forced to wear hijab, but the only way they can say no to compulsory hijab is through social media,” she explained. The page was meant to protest against the discriminatory law, and support all women—whether they wanted to wear the hijab or not. “We are fighting against compulsion in the 21st century,” she said.

Hijabs

In the past few weeks, the campaign has shifted, as men began posting photos of themselves wearing the hijab to show their support for the cause, under the hashtag #meninhijab. Alinejad explained that women wanted men to know how it feels to wear a headscarf. “All our lives we’ve been forced to live like this. For so many men, I think it looks natural because they’ve gotten used to seeing us in compulsory hijab. But for us, for women, it is an insult when you force us to be something else.”
