Alright, so I wrote that last blog fast before we got onto the plane to come back to Esfahan, not much happened...buuuuut.....
Baba and I were getting in line to go through security. They had two lines, and they were sort of seperated by men and women, but men were going through that line and there were women going through the line we were in, so it didn't quite matter. We were almost to where we needed to be, and this man infront of Baba and me turned to him and told me to go to the other line because I was a woman...wtf. There were women going through the line that we were in! What makes the difference, I looked at Baba and he turned to the guy and told him it didn't matter and that I was his daughter, and the man was still offended that I was going through the men's line, so I just went to the women's line. That made me SOOO mad...
That is one thing I hate about Iran, the fact how some menn are so SEXIST! Gah, I mean, aren't us women the ones who have your children and it is us the main reason you exist, all you do is just put a little stuff in us, but we go through the torture of 9 months of having a baby in there, experiencing pain, eating our faces, crying our eyes out, with a watermelon in our stomach. Those sexist men need to think about that. Women are very useful besides just that and cooking and cleaning. There are so many important women in this world that have made a difference or invented something so useful or stood up for something they believed in. If that jerk man ever comes to America and I see him again (I know I wont, but I am hypothetically speaking) I will be like "Oh! US Citizens first, buddy! Oh and there is also a gentleman custom you should learn here in the States, and it is LADIES FIRST" then i'd slap him.
For the men who happened to read this and take this the wrong way, I was aiming this at all sexist men, not all regular men btw. Men are great :) psycho at times, but hey, us women can be VERY mean.
Just had to share that thought :)
Shayda :)
Aaawwwwww. Poor sister. I'm sorry you had to conform to their society. LOL
