There are a lot of people that are capable of suppressing women without the US just fine. Just have a quick look at the Arabic peninsula, or the Taliban.
It’s why iran has so many educated women and is weirdly technologically powerful for a theocratic regime. Iran in the 70s was modern. Inshallah the people of iran will be freed from the tyranny of theocracy.
But yeah, iran is what should scare you the most because their collapse was fast and unexpected.
Nah, we funded both Iran and the Taliban. We even elected a guy who illegally funneled weapon sales to Iran in order to take that money and give it to Nicaraguan death squads. Arguably, without US support, neither gets the critical mass it needs to effect regime change or become anything more than an upstart.

Western securely repressive puritanism, maybe.
This is Iran in the 1970s, before the US started providing weapons, training, and funding to groups like literally the Taliban.
Wow, I’ve never seen this before. I don’t mean this in a derogatory way or anything, but they look like people.

They still are, they’re just people that are repressed by a theocracy now.
Yeah, I know I just mean to say that nowadays they’ve had all of their humanity stripped away, they look more like machines than they do people.
I get what you’re saying, but remember they’re still fighting. Feminist protests break out every few years there.
Good, they deserve their freedom

The Taliban hated women long before being funded by the US, and hating women was not why they are funded. Same for the fundamentalist Iranian Muslims.
Them being in power (and the subsequent suffering of women) can be attributed to the US, but not them hating women per se.
I like hating on the US as much as anyone, but let’s not pretend they’re the source of all evil (only lots).
Without the funding, most of those people would believe different things.
The women in the middle east weren’t nearly as suppressed before the US got involved
