On March 25, 2022, the Islamic Republic of Iran will officially join the United Nations Commission on the Status of Women.

Just in case you wondered what the status of women is in Iran, here is an excerpt from Wikipedia on the subject:

During the late 20th and early 21st centuries in Iran, women's rights have been severely restricted compared with those in most developed nations.

- The World Economic Forum's 2017 Global Gender Gap Report ranked Iran 140 out of 144 countries for gender parity. - In 2017 in Iran, females comprised just 19% of the paid workforce with seven percent growth since 1990. - In 2017, the Georgetown Institute for Women, Peace and Security (WPS) Index ranked Iran in the bottom tercile of 153 countries.

Is this going to turn into a fox-hen house problem?

Iranian women would run their country better than the men.

Too bad they’re lying about treating them better.

Who cares about the UN? We shouldn’t be paying our share of the UN. We should reduce it to the percent of the world population. We are only 4% of the World’s population so we should play 4% of the bills at the UN.

At least that is consistent. Kaddafi’s Libya became a member of their human right council.

Considering the facts that other members of that “commission” are most likely rabid, vulgar feminists, maybe it’s not a bad idea to balance that with the mullahs.

Why is there even a United Nations Commission on the Status of Women? What has that to do with the relations between nations?

...in Iran, women's rights have been severely restricted compared with those in most developed nations.

Hmmm, I'm beginning to lean towards Iran on this issue.
