I adore that woman.  She is my new hero.  I don't know her, I can't see her face, and I'll never meet her, but DAMN.  She is made of epic win.  An Iranian Rosa Parks.  Balls of steel indeed.

Whoever you are, don't back down.

Wow.

I applaud this woman's courage, but am sad because I'm sure she is about to be arrested and/or beaten.

Apparently the finger is a photoshop, but the sentiment still stands.

Indeed. I mean, just for her to stand there and shake her fist is bold enough for me.

Absolutely. I just don't understand why somebody felt the need to 'enhance' that gesture with a non-culturally-relevant add-on.

Because that's what people do. But the sentiment is still there. I can ignore the photoshop part in favor of recognizing the sentiment and the courage that woman expressed.

BTW, I love your icon. May I use?

Whoever she is, she's probably in prison right now. (Not trying to be a mood killer - just realistic.)

this made my day.
I hope she made it out of this all right, chances are she didn't. But they are forever insulted, while she is immortalized.

I respect her. She has courage to stand for her rights. Shame that she had to be tortured for this and we can't do anything.

A link to the original, non-photoshopped version. It's not as good as a clenched fist, unfortunately. But she's still standing in his way, and that could not have been anything but very brave to do.
