An Iranian monarchist who filmed herself pulling the headscarves off Iranians in London fled to Israel after UK police announced they were investigating her.

The woman allegedly responsible is an Iranian pro-Israel activist called Bahar Mahroo, who later closed her Instagram and TikTok accounts and claimed she found the videos online. However, a reserve image search found no sources for the video, other than her Twitter account.

Where's the line? Because controlling men force women to cover up all the time with all sorts of pieces of clothing.

The line is drawn with systemic issues with "culture". If banning ultimately better for society, then ban it.
