    Zeynep Dilli From the 'scared for them' perspective: IIRC, there's no specific textual reason that they can't, it's more a social one. I understand that there might be an issue of men feminizing themselves and being seen as targets because of that. Plus, demonstrating against the government isn't the safest thing there. Would you say that they speaks to what could put them in danger in Iran? Or are there other things that you see?

    No, basically those two, with the government angle being the more dangerous one.
