“.....but she can kick my butt.”

Not really. If she gets within reach place your hand on the back of her head and slide her burka over her eyes. Can’t fight if can’t see. Game over.

My New Years resolution is to base every FR post on a quote from Blazing Saddles or song lyrics (Either Beatles, Warren Zevon, or John Prine).

“Pretty much anyone can leave if they have somewhere to go.”

Not that easy. It can take months to get a visa to travel to another country. And if you haven’t travelled much outside of Iran, you may not get one. And, even if you have all the paperwork, it’s no guarantee that you won’t be stopped at the airport & have your passport confiscated. And women travelling alone need permission to leave from a husband or male relative.
