Female protesters in Iran shot in faces, breasts and genitals, medics say

Medics treating protesters in Iran said they were seeing a difference in the type of injuries inflicted on men and women by the security forces — with the female activists often being shot in their faces, breasts and genitals..

multiple doctors and nurses who have been surreptitiously caring for wounded demonstrators during months of unrest said it appeared that officers tasked with stopping the protests have been targeting specific body parts in women.

One doctor from Isfahan province speaking to the outlet on condition of anonymity said he believed the authorities “wanted to destroy the beauty of these women.”

Iran has been roiled by violent protests since Sept. 16, when a 22-year-old Kurdish Iranian woman named Mahsa Amini died while in the custody of the morality police after being detained for allegedly wearing her hijab “improperly.”

So far, more than 475 people have been killed in the unrest and over 18,000 have been detained by government forces as part of a brutal crackdown on the popular movement, which was spearheaded by women and girls fed up with the ayatollahs’ draconian rule.

Iranian authorities reportedly have been firing on demonstrators at close — sometimes point-blank — range with birdshot pellets made of metal or plastic. Doctors said shots to the eyes were particularly common.

...

Another doctor from the city of Karaj suggested that the security forces “shoot at the faces and private body parts of women because they have an inferiority complex and they want to get rid of their sexual complexes by hurting these young people.”

There also have been hundreds of reports of protesters being blinded by pellets shot into their eyes.

Agreed. Probably started in the mid 1960’s with Betty Friedan’s “The Feminine Mystique.”

Oh, it’s because the “feminists” are actually just commies.

Couldn’t give a rats ass about actual women. Just a con job.
