> True, they are brutally oppressed
What you deem oppression is entirely cultural. It's your choice to project that on others.
The Western liberal views the Iranian woman as oppressed because they can no longer freely sell their bodies.
The Iranian revolutionary may view the Western sex worker as oppressed because capitalism effectively forces them to sell their body to buy shelter and food. Or something about spiritual oppression. I don't really know, to be honest.
> It's perfectly fine to have an opinion about the form of government
About as fine as caring about what your neighbor is doing in their bedroom. Which is to say, pretty weird, albeit normalized in imperialist societies. It's literally none of your business.
