Iran: Use of the word 'women' banned from state TV
AKI ^ | Nov 29 2007

Posted on 11/29/2007 5:21:56 PM PST by camerakid400

Tehran, 29 Nov. (AKI) - The word 'women' must now be replaced on Iranian state television by 'family', reformist Norouz news agency reports.

In programmes broadcast throughout the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women last Sunday, Iranian state TV used the world family instead.

In recent weeks, Iran's Centre for the Participation of Women changed its name to the Centre for Family Matters.

At the time of former reformist president, Mohammad Khatami, the centre was set up within the president's office.

Khatami was president of Iran from 1997 to 2005.

Ahmadinejad, God made male and female.
It was good.
God loves men and women.

Don’t you like women?
How do you like the internet?

I heard once, and I believe it’s true; nothing is private on the internet.

I believe I’ve read somewhere that Arabic has words for “son” and “child” but no word for “daughter”. Can somebody fluent in Arabic calibrate me on that?

Iran State TV?

Thats just so horrible, I watch Iran State TV all the time!(sarc.)

Reminds me of the old tune:

Slap her down again, pa

Slap her down again

Make her tell us more, pa

Tell us where she's been

We don't want our neighbors

Talkin' 'bout our kin

Slap her down again, pa

Slap her down again

If ever there was a hell on earth created especially for women, it has to be these countries controlled by imbecillic Islamofascists.

Iran is just getting started.

Mass exodus ping!

But of course the feminists all think George Bush is, oh, so much worse than Mr. Ahmadinejad.

My husbands favorite chapter. I do all the work, earn all the money, raise the kids and he gets to sit around and tell everyone how great I am. (ok a little bit stretched.)
