A video by an Iranian activist shows a crowd in the Islamic Republic cheering as a women was dragged across a road and beaten.

Her crime, according to the activist, Masih Alinejad, was dancing and not wearing the Islamic hijab required by law for any female older than 13, DailyMail.com reported.

Robert Spencer, director of the website Jihad Watch, commented the woman is among the “real feminists, who are taking actual risks to stand up for women’s rights.”

“Meanwhile, Leftist feminists in the West are donning the hijab, the symbol of oppression against which these Iranian women are rebelling, in order to show solidarity with women who they claim are oppressed in the West for wearing the hijab. The real oppression is elsewhere,” he wrote.

The video shows the woman in the city of Rasht, on Iran’s Caspian Sea coast, standing by a busy road as she is jeered by men. A few of the men approached her, and one grabbed her around the head and forced her to the ground. The man then took hold of her ankles and dragged her over the asphalt, prompting a cheer from the crowd of men.

When she stood up, the man hit her in the face, knocking her down. The woman shrieked throughout the attack as men laughed.

I wish all those idiots who like to dress up as “Handmaids” to protest the supposed subjugation of women in the USA would head on over to Iran to protest the treatment of women there. If they survive Iran, they could make Saudi Arabia their next stop.

I won’t hold my breath.

Where are the ever-so-pure and ever-so -righteous feminists? Why aren’t they protesting this behavior? What hypocritical losers. All feminists are doomed to be lonely old ladies with lots of cats (if they aren’t first assaulted or murdered by moozlums). Hahahaha.

Yes, where is the head Handmaid Margaret Atwood? Probably still worrying about the “evil” right-wing Christians plotting to take away all civil rights from women.
