In 1979 Muslim fundamentalists overthrew the secular monarchy of Iran and the new Theocrats immediately began dehumanizing and subjugating women. I hope anyone in the USA who reads this is taking notes because it might be happening here in 2025.

That had to be so very difficult.

aww

I can't even begin to imagine his pain.

This is literally what flipped the South from Dixicrats to Republicans. Never forget that the GOP was (and still is) for apartheid.

One of the most hauntingly powerful photos I’ve ever seen regarding slavery.

He is very awesome

That's so sweet. Wait, that was allowed in Hungary in 1920?

The patient lived for 30 more years and outlived the doctor by 8 years. After retiring from active practice, Religa went on to become a politician. He was a good man.

Woodward and Bernstein. They did an amazing thing. A very corrupt man was elected to the highest office in the land and they, using nothing more than information, took him down.

Wow. I don't remember hearing about this!

If I've learned anything from science fiction movies, it's to make sure these guys are on your side.

But who photographed him?! 😨

Why???? Why can't we preserve things of this magnitude??

Racism is completely illogical, irrational, and moronic.

I hope he found them.

While Idi Amin lived in luxury, thanks to the Saudis...

She has said: When men make shots similar to mine, others call it skill. Every time I do it, they call it luck.

his poor hands!

Skateboarding in style

Apparently nothing new here!!

Back when The Philippines were still an American Colony BTW. Just adding some context.

Too bad they never caught him or Gobels alive. An easy death was to good for them.

Radiating pure evil.

What have we been doing with our planet . . .

They're all gone. The Sands is gone. The Venetian stands there now.

Poor women...

I'm not a huge fan of missionaries. Colonialism sucks. But female missionaries from England were the driving force behind ending the custom of foot binding in China. That's a good thing.

A disgusting and cruel thing to do

Imagine making your daughter a cripple so men will find her attractive

So cruel...

The pain these women had to undergo and the disability it caused, all done to them willingly by their parents or guardians, is horrific.

Probably the only good thing about the communist revolution in China, was that it abolished this barbaric practice.

ieesh..painful just to look at

Just for the fascination of men.

So painful.

I think this is why I love the book "The Small Woman" about the English missionary Gladys Aylward. She did so much more than preach the gospel. When she was appointed by a local official to become a "foot inspector" (because former male appointees had faced violent opposition), she would visit outlying villages and order the feet of these women to be unbound. She also owned an inn and would take in travellers, feed them, offered clean beds, and told them "stories" from the Bible. She adopted many abandoned children, and when the Japanese began an invasion from the north, shepherded many other children together with her own, to safety. She was a woman of many parts!

for the dumbest reasons

What a horrible torture just because men preferred small feet on women

Yikes 😱 that poor woman!

Another way to keep women down.

And this was a "STYLE".... Whoever started it...should be CANED....

This poor lady..........

Poor woman to be subjected to such torture...

Just f*****g weird.

Are We still Foot Binding? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=afr_A352m9o
