Good to know there are some Iranian men as fed up with their regime's bullshit as women are.

The Food and Drug Administration in Iran has ordered pharmacies to ask female employees to wear hijab at workplace. Unhappy with the order, Iranian men mocked the Iranian government’s diktat and supported their female colleagues by wearing hijab themselves.

Iranian journalist and activist Masih Alinejad on Tuesday shared photographs of few men wearing hijab on Twitter.

“Iran’s Food and Drug Administration has ordered pharmacies to force their female staff to wear black veils at workplace. Iranian men are mocking this order and supporting their female colleagues by wearing hijab. Compulsory hijab is the main pillar of a religious relationship. Together we will bring this wall down,” she wrote.

She further called on international pharmacists to support their Iranian colleagues.

“Many women lost their job for the crime of resisting compulsory hijab laws. Forcing women to wear hijab is an insult to all women and men across the globe. Human rights is a global matter. Show your solidarity. #MahsaAmini‌,” she added.
