Iran is an Islamic republic and condemns homosexuality, yet their secret police are raping men all the time??

A lot of it is psychological warfare in the sense that they emasculate the men and make them more "woman" like, thus weaker, by raping them. If you do some Googling, you will find this is very common in this culture. An example: Gaddafi was raped with a baton when he was captured by his captors.

I remembered the reports saying that a baton was hanging out of his clothing, but I checked back, and you are correct. Those are images I can't unsee.

In a lot of cultures around the world and throughout history you're not gay if you're the one doing the penetrating.

DawnSowrd t1_ixhu0x5 wrote

This kinda applies in Iran as well, the penetrating person gets prison or in some cases lashings according to law while the penetratee gets a death penalty. Of course this is the official law, there is alot of stuff that gets "officially " thrown under the rug like this post.

Yeah I didnt know what the mindset in Iran was so I didn't want to assume and just stuck to the general claim that I was sure of, but I suspected it would be that way.

Didn’t they say a few years back that Iran has no homosexuals?

It’s illegal to be gay in Iran. They have forced sex changes instead.

Can we agree there is no religious authority for committing violent sexual assault?

WexfordHo t1_ixajdhg wrote

Or indeed any other authority, some things are inexcusable.

I once had a discussing in an intro to philosophy course about the hierarchy of bad shit. There was a consensus that murder was the worst thing a person could commit, but i was willing to die on the hill that says rape is worst.

GWS2004 t1_ixcrpr6 wrote

Both murder and rape, take a life away. But I agree that rape is worse as the person is living every day with that trama. It doesn't end.

WexfordHo t1_ixda35e wrote

I don’t know about better or worse, but there are recognized and accepted reasons to end a human life; I cannot think of a single good reason for sexual violence under any circumstances.

Snorf t1_ixfzgrc wrote

This is exactly why i believe it's worse. There aren't any situations that would make raping someone the favorable outcome for all.

adon_bilivit t1_ixecn0i wrote

I think certain torture methods are worse (I have read about some and had nightmares). However, I don't feel like it's appropriate to discuss what's worse in front of victims. It's not supposed to be a competition.

thegodfather0504 t1_ixckyih wrote

I would say it depends on the brutality of the rape.

If rape is worse than murder than why does society not recognise male rape victims?

GWS2004 t1_ixcrjig wrote

They absolutely do recognize them. Please don't start with that divisive bullshit.

DearMrsLeading t1_ixj3y9m wrote

Men have done that to themselves and many still continue to do it. It should be recognized but it (often) isn’t and a large part of that is men minimizing the feelings of other men. You can’t have a conservative manly man culture that emphasizes strength without losing the ability to be vulnerable with each other.

Edit to say I’m referring to US culture specifically.

thegodfather0504 t1_ixj7j1i wrote

i don't buy that. It's illegal to assault or kill man. Why not rape?

Making laws is different than dealing with feelings. If women's rape is death worthy, men's rape should atleast be jail worthy.

DearMrsLeading t1_ixj8ybd wrote

I’m not going to assume what country you’re from or the laws there, I realize that I assumed you’re American for some reason, my bad.

The US generally doesn’t use the death penalty for rapists unless they also murdered the victim. Even then it’s not very common. The US has been slowly working to remove gendered language from our laws regarding sexual assault as well but it’s a long process that’s only partially completed. Conservative pushback about “being a man” is a large part of that problem, which was what I was referring to in my first comment.

I agree, I just listened to a podcast where the host has a woman on that said in Iran they have a religious shit bag say that it is halal to rape this woman for the next hour while she is in custody.

They claim to hate these "backwards heathens" but their aims & ideas are SO much closer than they'd have you believe. They WISH they could behave like them.

Yeah but then again they don't know anything else but(t) rape and violence and to be obedient. I'm not surprised it escalated like that

This read made me sick.

Also: “women should wear headscarf so that men don’t sin with their thoughts. If they don’t, we risk to sin so let’s actually rape them to death, so we can live sin free.” Sure buddy.

Averiella t1_ixgma8w wrote

It’s worse than that. Girls can’t be executed in Iran. Unfortunately, culturally, once you’ve had sex (or been raped) you’re not a girl. Therefore they must rape girls and unmarried women so they can be executed. It’s been a norm for decades in Iranian prisons. To them it’s bonus points that some interpretations of Islam don’t allow these women into heaven as they died not virgins while unmarried. Virgins always go to heaven, so that must be stopped to them.

Your overall statement aside 'Infidels' isn't just "anybody they're against", it means unbelievers. if anything these protesters would be apostates if they want to go down that route.

I feel physically I’ll after reading that. Shit like this is what makes me really hope there is a hell. Because eternal suffering is the only thing these fucks deserve. Fuck the Iranian government, fuck the ayatollah, and fuck every single supporter they have.

They claim to follow islam, yet they go against everything of what it means to be muslim. If they meet their maker one beautiful day, I’m sure he won’t be pleased.

Hate to say it, but peaceful protest isn’t gonna be enough this time.

Peaceful protest may work in places where the government isn’t likely to just kill you.

However, the Iranian people are gonna have to fight fire with fire.

Express-Drawing65 t1_ixctcle wrote

Basically they are saying that to preserve the moral structure of Iran, they must rape the people who disagree. Who else feels this is just a coverup for a corrupt system of limp dicked misogynists? How do you enforce a religious code of behaviour while raping in gods name.

That's because it's not about gender, it's about religion and control

Sadly I don’t think many of us expected anything less from Iran. Learning their “morality” police use rape as a weapon against people they hate is not surprising at all.

My god you sir are a genius!! Let's bomb the entire nation to punish the government for oppressing their people. What a marvelous idea, what people that are left alive after the bombings will surely crawl out of the rubble of what was once their homes and lives and thank us with open arms.

Do I really need to put /s for this one? Your comment makes me doubt your intelligence so maybe.
