In what way is the government monitoring and controlling what people wear not repressive?

the report/article seems to have a singular focus on demonising Iran and it's government.

google searches for "hijab ban", "muslim ban", "woman forced to remove hijab" yields a lot of results. And i'll add, it's not just hijabs; hoodies, skateboarders, rap music, masks, books? etc. have all been made skapegoats in recent times for authoritarian governments everywhere are trying to control individual liberties. Albeit in a different fashion, the government is trying to control the individual liberties of what an individual wears, reads, watches, listens to etc.

To suggest that an article can’t focus on the perceived wrongs of an individual country without also giving a fair and balanced view of similar wrongs everywhere else in the world would render reporting of most things impractical. And it’s also verging on whataboutism.
