West needs to stay out of other cultures. Let's not forget all the leftists that tried to go to the soccer game wearing rainbows and got kicked out. People need to respect other people's cultures.

I think oppression hiding under the mask of “culture” is still oppression and we should be against it.

I agree. But what do you consider oppression in that country?

Abortion or not having access for contraceptives?

Mass killing of Iranian children, no access to real medical treatments for many citizens, no access to contraceptives and abortion, being banned from studying many subjects in University because you're a girl and they are male-subjects, Forced Economy to keep people poor and destroy the worth of the currency while the oppressors spends millions of dollars buying real estate and university tuition in US, ...

I could really go on, but oppression is still oppression and shouldn't be hidden under Laws or Forced cultures. Iranians have their own culture not this one forced to them by the muslim kings and oppressors.
