Faye Turner: one of these things is not like the other...



Iranian President Ahmadinejad released the trespassing British sailors today on account of it being Mohammad's birthday, as well as the celebration of Jesus the Christ's passing in the West. How very clever.
This picture shows them leaving his presidential palace, waving happily to the media. Don't they look dashing in their shiny suits! Hmmmmmm.

Now, the Iranian public has been quite vocal about wanting to let "the woman" go home up to this point. It was reported that the public felt a woman and mother shouldn't be held as a prisoner, and that really she shouldn't be a sailor in general.
In President Ahmadinejad's speech, he says "How can you justify seeing a mother away from her home, her children? Why don't they respect family values in the West?"
Despite the fact that she is, indeed, a sailor, we can see from the photo that she has not been provided with professional clothing like her male counterparts for her meeting with the President.
Really? Deny her profession, deny her professional attire?
I think the photo says it all.
