#1 The word 'women' must now be replaced on Iranian state television by 'family'

A dubious honor at best.

#2 In programmes broadcast throughout the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against women last Sunday, Iranian state TV used the world family instead.

See, that's good. If a woman's existence isn't recognized, then there can be no violence against them since they don't exist. Violence eliminated!
Problem solving the Iranian way...

#4 Ummmm, exactly how does this work?

Do they now say "15 families gave birth in the hospital?" 10 families died of breast cancer."

This is one of the biggest downsides of technology. We have to pay attention to this pond scum now.

#8 Oh come on Zen, you know perfectly well how they'll react.

They'll ignore it like they do all the other insults and oppressions of women not carried out by White Republican Males.
