    I wonder if all the Muslims here saying “women should be dressing whatever they want”, also protest the same in muslims countries where women are killed for not covering their hair.

        Is this sarcasm?

          The majority of people killed during the Iranian protests were men.

          That said it is possible that the original commenter was being sarcastic.
