Obligatory what Iran is doing makes no fucking sense.

That aside, lashing in Islam doesn't mean lashing with all your strength and ripping the flesh off the guy you're lashing. There are a lot of restrictions to make the process painful, but survivable without permanent injuries.

Fuck any religion that posits death or beating for anyone. Fuck any religion that teaches women are subservient to men. I don't give a flying fuck about "a lot of restrictions" -- fuck this brutal religion.

This may be my ignorance speaking, but I'd far rather be lashed than imprisoned.

I'd rather see the clerical leadership publicly executed for their crimes against humanity and Iranians be free from the boot of oppression.

Idk why you're downvoted for this. I would too.

I once headbutted a cop while already in jail, and they just took me to a side room and beat the shit out of me (I was still handcuffed), and I'd take that over "assault on an officer" charge 100 times out of 100.

I'm certain this is vastly worse than what I got, but I'd still rather be whipped than imprisoned. I don't do well behind bars.

Someone asked a question and I answered. What are you so upset about?

I don't think they're upset at you, just in general.

Uh, I'm upset about religions that teach people women are not worthy of being on the same level as men. I'm upset that certain countries beat the crap out of people to dissuade then from opposing the decisions of their ruling oligarchs...

*typos

I'm upset at the use of obligatory

It's because without mentioning that part I'll get a whole bunch of FUCK YOU BARBARIAN YOU SHOULD BE ASHAMED blah blah blah because it can sound like I'm defending what Iran is doing at first glance.
