Iranian men are posting pictures of themselves wearing women's head scarves as a political statement, supporting both a male protester who the government is trying to humiliate by posting pictures of him in women/s clothing, and Iranian women in general.

Switzerland bans minarets to, amongst other things, "support women's rights" I eagerly wait the banning of church towers to support science.

I found the autiobiographical graphic novel "Persopolis" gave a really interesting insight into the culture of Iran (without being the sort of weighty non-fiction tome I feel like I should read and don't :))

I'll have to see if I can get my hands on a copy of that, definitely.
