#4 - meet local women in Iran


What in the actual frick?

It gets worse :

quote:

Its Iran itinerary includes visits to some of the country’s most celebrated sights, such as the remains of ancient capital Persepolis, as well as opportunities to meet local women “in a truly authentic way”: travellers will visit a beauty salon, relax with a picnic in a women-only park, and use women-only carriages on the metro and train. They’ll also meet young female entrepreneurs and learn about Iranian food while cooking with local women in their home.


Anyone advocating for the "authentic" woman experience in Iran is fricked in the head

The US circa 1963 was the #1 destination for tourists from Africa as they got to experience restaurants just for them, their own parks, water fountains, bus seats...
