[doggie]

revenge is sweet indeed. glad she did not get caught.

An Iranian cleric said he was beaten by a woman in the northern province of Semnan after giving her a warning for being “badly covered,†the state-run Mehr news agency reported.

Hojatoleslam Ali Beheshti said he encountered the woman in the street while on his way to the mosque in the town of Shahmirzad, and asked her to cover herself up, to which she replied “you, cover your eyes,†according to Mehr. The cleric repeated his warning, which he said prompted her to insult and push him.

“I fell on my back on the floor,†Beheshti said in the report. “I don’t know what happened after that, all I could feel was the kicks of this woman who was insulting me and attacking me.â€

Am I mean for hoping that she was wearing spiked heels under her chador? I just hope for her sake that nobody identifies her.

I was thinking the same thing. Good for her!

[SomewhatFundy]

Praying nobody finds out who she was! I would hate to find out somebody id'd her and she got jailed for it....or worse.

Good for her anyway!

I'm usually not for violence, but this woman ROCKS! :D

It is especially commendable that she turns the argument of patriarchy around, asking men to cover.

[Deleted03]

I am not going to cry for that one. If only she did not have to get violent to protect herself... one can dream.

With a cleric (of any faith) with that kind of power and attitude, you lash him with your tongue and your fists, and apologize to no one.

[missbrooklyn]

I really hope no one knows her identity, because I can't imagine the powers that be letting that slide. However, you go, sister!

[Lillybee]

Good for her.

There is already a thread on this. Mods; can you please merge threads?

Perfect response is perfect. Now, hopefully she'll never be identified.
