Iran sex police attack women's clothes

AFP:

Iran's judiciary is to launch a fresh clampdown on women it deems are inappropriately dressed and "spreading prostitution," the state news agency IRNA reported on Saturday.

"The ones who spread prostitution and intentionally seek to disturb social and moral security by inappropriate clothing and behaviour will be firmly confronted," Tehran's hardline prosecutor Saeed Mortazavi said.

"It has been noticed that some people with an outrageous appearance in public hurt religious feelings and beliefs," he said, adding the crackdown would start on March 6 and continue for a month.

Mortazavi said the crackdown would also target what he described as "street women who get into cars as passengers and rob or extort the drivers."

Every post-pubescent woman is required to cover her hair and body in public in Iran....

Insulting women and requiring them to cover up because of Muslim men's poor impulse control and because of the religious leaders weird attitudes shows how out of touch leaders in that country are with reality and the human condition. The head covering requirement is relatively recent in the Muslim world and is because these perverts think women's hair emanates sex rays. This is so scientifically illiterate as to defy description. The belief itself should be an embarrassment to rational people.
