Iran government makes unprecedented and bizarre guidelines for women, leaving netizens puzzled over these eerie new rules. It is a usual thing to watch women and men eating food and drinking beverages while featuring on TV commercials. But, least did we imagine that there can be a restriction on women eating pizza in commercials. Or, simply say, a ban on women eating, drinking, or even merrymaking on screens.
New Iranian TV censorship rules have stated that they are imposing a ban on women eating pizza and sandwiches on screen. And forget about male-female equality, the second rule is no man should be seen serving tea to women in workplaces. Thirdly, women are not allowed to drink any red-coloured drinks or wear leather gloves on the screen.
The new guidelines have been issued by government officials to broadcasters and filmmakers following an audit, according to the local journal. Any scenes or photographs showing men and women in a domestic setting will be cleared by the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB) before broadcast to ensure that the new guidelines are followed, Amir Hossein Shamshadi, head of PR at IRIB said. To escape fines from Tehran’s government, certain Iranian streaming sites may self-censor.
