Something like 70% of gradates in STEM fields in Iran are women. Their economy can’t absorb the skilled labors because of the sanctions though, but that is their goal: To hinder democracy and a middle class that wouldn’t want to sell out to the west. What the US and Israel is doing is meant to do the opposite of what leftists want for Iran. And war is certainly not going to make any of this better.

I’m pretty sure Americans are gobbling up the media narrative of “Iran has nukes and the girls aren’t educated”

Simple. Let’s let them just have their nukes, on the condition that their program be run entirely by female nuclear scientists!

they’re more educated than americans but let’s allow that get in the way of a good ol’ war on brown people

They don’t educate the girls. that makes it ethical to nuke the girls.
Westoid warmongering logic
like in gaza where “they are mean to gays” so it is OK to genocide all the gays in there

I don’t know why they’re trying to push this narrative that Iran having nuclear weapons is somehow more bad for Western society than, for example, North Korea having nuclear weapons.
They’re acting as if no hostile power has ever had nuclear weapons before.

I guess it is more “no power directly hostile to Israel in the Middle East”
