one more thing, what about those girls having seks with their boy-friends and talking about freedom, but as soon as they find a rich boy from religious/traditional family they completely change and go for those surgeries to regain their ‘virginity’ to be accepted by the guy! you see how strong is that norm/taboo that a feminist kind of girl is ready to convert to a full saint! it is not about norm and women freedom, it is all about money.

soory I did not write it in an organised/logical way because im now in hurry. I understand what you mean in this post, but, i beleive this feature is more general than just skes related diffrences.

cheers friend, I follow your post, I like your writing.

And the other point I am trying to make is that based on the experiences of these two, it seems that being a forn star and or frostitute is simply not taboo anymore. As a whole (and of course I know these are all generalizations, there are loads of very conservative families etc), a girl can say, look, I decided I want to be a forn star, a frostitute, and not only does she NOT get a lot of negative reaction, she is actually applauded and everybody says, well good for you!!! I am not making any moral judgements about forn or frostitution- i am just saying it seems the taboo which these jobs had for centuries seems to be lifting.

I mean, I’m not a forn-star or frostitute, but I don’t dare have my own mom read my blog, simply because I express opinions which are different from hers. So yes, I envy a society where a girl can actually say, look mum and dad, I am/was a forn star, you can read about here, and her mum and dad say, oh my darling girl, we are so proud of you!!!!!!! Do you see what I mean? I am not free to express my own opinions to the people closest to me, whereas these girls get love and support for doing what is absolutely taboo for all centuries, as you say!!!

For the record, I also agree with you Iranian women and their families who view marraige as some sort of business contract, and yes, I don’t see why that is so different from frostitution anyway.

Thanks for the comments. And again for the record, I would have a heart attack if my daughter decided to do those jobs, of course I am part of the same fabric of Iranian society which I am criticizing!!

1- is this analogy correct? I mean, even the “university”, “science”, “technology”, … there and in Iran are differently perceived; let alone forn & frostitude. Let’s go one step backward, is the meaning of “work” (for the purpose of running a life) is the same there and in Iran, then consequently the forn and frostitude as a type of work?

2- yes, you are right. forn and frostitude is not accepted in Iran ; but Iranian women know some other things comparable to those (in my opinion, when it comes to finding a way to earn money and secure future financial life!); including “eshveh oomadan” and “honare shohar toor kardan”. statistically, maybe more iranin women are gaining a living in this way than western women in that way! as long as I know, families are very proud if their daughters have this art. I am not judging wether it is correct or not, but when it comes to earning a living by selling sex features, these two are comparable (my opinion)

3- well, seks out of mariage (i.e a married one having seks out of marriage) is different from seks out of marriage (i.e. seks without marriage) and different from frostitude. even westerners have different reactions to the above categories.

4- forn and frostitude maybe taboo because generally in all history and cultures it is women doing this job for men. have you heard a man do this to earn money? (let me confess, I heard it! I read this in a weblog long time ago that a young ‘hot’ man in rich Tehran suburbs earn living in this way and has well-off female clients!)

5- not completely agree with this post

cheers

As you said, I think their main goal is to become noted and contorversial.

Thank god I dono this Maryam Rana personally, but she sounds really disgusting. I’m sorry in the 21st century we still have to bear such people with such horrible, sick attitudes.

I know someday, some sweet day, this world will be void of any religion. May that day come sooner.
