Why are people so angry?

by Gavazn on

Surely it is getting more comments because we NEVER are allowed to see Iranian women in this way. We cover them up and give them a designated role in Iranian society. Not to be seen as beautiful and sexual beings . It's controversial, that's why. But this is not porn is it?

I did not know Iran had women like this. I may even dump Cindy Crawford now.


The Shepherdess

Outragous freedom? Whose freedom?

by The Shepherdess on

If this was her website and she decided to feature herself with her naked body I'd say kudos to her, but for you as a man to feature this on this day is nothing but tasteless and an indication of your crudity. Besides, remember nudity and pornography are not the same thing. It is one thing to choose to flaunt my body as a woman to express myself, it is entirely another thing to reduce a woman's image to her body, boobs and looks be it on the international women's day or any other day.

Benross: Point well taken.

Jaleh: I would be really worried if I found you agreed with me. Thanks for validating my point.

"فقط همین مونده بود که ژاله خانم بیاد از این عکس در روز زن دفاع کنه، لول!"

اولا لول چیه دیگه؟LOL دوم، این ایده‌های استالینیستی " ۸ مارس- روز زن" و شعارهای ارولی یک کم قدیمی‌ شده. این روز‌ها احمدی‌نژاد و روپوش بیشتر مد روز هستند اگه از من بپرسی‌ :-)

ولی‌ شما متاسفانه متوجه اصل کامنت من نشدی: هر کس خودش تصمیم میگیره که چکار می‌خواد بکنه.  هر وقت اکثریت مردم برای جامعه خود تصمیم گرفتند، نظر اکثریت عملی‌ خواهد شد. البته این خلاصه کلام است. امورات فرهنگی‌ هر جامعه نظر اکثریت را تعیین می‌کند، زور داخلی‌ و خارجی‌ در عملکرد هر جامعه تاثیر دارد، ولی‌ وقتی‌ اکثریت چیزی را واقعاً بخواهد، حتی حاضر است به قیمت خون زیاد انقلاب کرده و نظر اکثریت را حکمفرما کند. این میان اگر سلیقه شخصی‌ شما پایمال شد، خوب بشود!

Outrageous Freedom

by Jahanshah Javid on

An iranian.com regular emailed these photos a couple of days ago. I thought they would be perfect for International Women's Day. Outrageous? Certainly. More appropriate for Playboy? Yes. But I would add that it is also a demonstration of individual freedom by an Iranian woman. How often is that allowed to happen?

I want to take the opportunity to remind you of an important news today. Internet access limitations on Iran will be lifted and access to internet will be easier for Iranians in Iran. That's the news:

فقط همین مونده بود که ژاله خانم بیاد از این عکس در روز زن دفاع کنه، لول!

خوب پس به جهانشاه پیشنهاد می‌کنم این عکس رو در روز تولد فاطمه زهرا
هم اینجا چاپ کنه، تا بلکه به عنوان یک زن مسلمان مترقی و آزاده از مقام
ایشان تقلیلی به عمل بیاد. حیفه آخه!

خدا پدرتو بیا مرزه ژاله  خانم، پس مرگ خوبه واسه همسایه؟

پس چرا این جور آزادی عمل و آزادی فکر و آزادی پیشه و هنر برای زنان
ایرانی در داخل ایران وجود نداره؟ حق مسلمشون نیست؟ پس چرا هیچ آزادی
براشون نیست؟

چرا بعضی‌ از "حیوانات" از اونهای دیگه "مساوی ترند" (جورج ارول)


Morveln

By the way..

by Morveln on

Just because we Iranians, doesnt mean we have to only publish political correct issues - iranian.com is a channel for free expression. Why not show a beautiful specimin of what an Iranian women can look like - to be honest I didnt even know we had models like this.

Im not saying this how we should view iranian women and celebrate them on womens day, but Im just saying that this also could be a source of expression and admirataion.  I mean, we know about the struggle in Iran and ultimately we are all impacted by this in our lives (more or less). Im just glad that we can have this as well - and not only mullahs, shirin ebadi and basij.... view this as another angle! Its just a hot girl with silicon -

More power to her

by Anonymous Observer on

She is free to do whatever she wants with her body, and it's really no one's business.  Hell, I would do it if I had the goods too (and I have a doctorate), but I don't want to scare women away with my ultra pure Persian body fur. :-))

Inappropriate!

by aaminian on

I have no problem with naked women and sexuality in general.  What I cannot comprehend is why this photo shoot is posted on the front page of Iranian.com.  I am sure many visitors of this site are corporate professionals and they view articles here from their work environment.  It makes me wonder what JJ has in store for us next!  Hustler centerfolds maybe?!

You have no idea how difficult it is for men to be civilized once every three minutes. (and that's a conservative estimate about times that men's brain think about sex)


Jaleho

Holier than thou feminists, men and women!

by Jaleho on

What's wrong with portraying a beautiful woman in "women's Day"?

To begin with, is this even a recognized day in Iran? I don't think so. And, what does the FANTASTIC fight of Iranian women inside Iran is in any contradiction to this woman's right to do whatever she wants?!

Sure, many parents would prefer their kids become brain surgeons instead of a model, but wouldn't life be VERY BORING with half the population as brain sugeons? ;-)

Those women who lecture everyone on the FREEDOM of choice, are the first to denigrate other women just because "their choice" was not aligned with their very own.

Funny how people who advoctae freedom are the first to advise others on what they should believe, they should write, they should be banned for this reason or other, their comments should be deleted, their content should not be published.......

GOOD CHOICE editor. She is a pretty representative of women, and like many forms of arts and natural beauty she is pleasing to look at. Same goes with Orang's link and some nice looking guys there. As much as I find Schwarzenegger type ugly, but you can't argue with pictures 7 and11 in that link! There is something magical about that 7 and 11 number. My suggestion to this Maryam khanoom is to rename her picture 5 as 7.

How can you tell if her breasts are fake? Is she really Iranian?

Fake fake fake. This is one thing men can tell! I don't know about her nationality though. I don't think anybody is looking into it!

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately or fortunately few women are as crude as most men tend to be.

As for the editor of this site what can I say not eveybody has to have class.


vosough

brain vs. looks

by vosough on

after doing a quick web search and not seeing any mentioning of such a model i wonder if she is truly an iranian!

that said and given today is woman's day and the ironic post of Gol-Maryam poem by Hila Sedighi got me to think this point:

if put into a bell curve all societies/cultures will have their fair share of people that will fall in the outlier areas -- both from intelligence levels but more importantly on how much class they show and how much value they put toward utilizing their brain vs. their looks -- here are some examples on iranian women:   //www.youtube.com/watch?v=UOxsBusOqwU //www.youtube.com/watch?v=uKKREKJxTmE   //www.youtube.com/watch?v=wfFcs25KmMc //www.youtube.com/watch?v=wo9Ru-jw5es   //www.youtube.com/watch?v=Wi3FvTymxbk //www.youtube.com/watch?v=dC4dI91GNT8   //www.youtube.com/watch?v=DWAM7C3Q8vk //www.youtube.com/watch?v=zKEKlZtcsQ8

life sure has so many choices!

for men to drool.

by fussygorilla on

Well, here it is in full color: Westernized, modern, progressive, liberated iranian woman (even with fake boobs)!  Isn't this what the advocates of "freedom", "democracy" have been calling for? 

How much does she cost for a nite (or is it by the hour)?


hamidbak

ouch

by hamidbak on

Now, if we could only get her a PHD, put her on a shuttle and send her into space, with talks of Nobel prize, with a rich Iranian doctor...we'll be all set.

That is one thick Iranian woman, did not know Amazon reached all the way up to Iran.
