Live @ Columbia Conference: Shahla Talebi on “Masculine Might and Mothers”

Speaking right now is Shahla Talebi on the role of women and mothers in the Islamic Republic of Iran.

Talebi thinks that much of today’s violence in Iran against women, is a reaction against “strong men, who have strong mothers.” As Talbei stated, “the masculine might can never do without mothers.” Therefore, the need to crush women, who stand in the way of masculine might.

I would like to ask Prof. Talebi once Q & A comes up about the imagery of Neda Soltan and why she thinks that image remains so definitive of the Green Wave.
