Patriarchy in Action

As you know, in order to apply to have my identity papers updated to match the new regime (so I can renew my Iranian passport, so I can go back to Iran), I was asked to provide my American passport. The Iranian government said they would simply look at my American passport to make sure it was real, then they would FedEx it back to me.

Yesterday, my dad forwarded me this email with the message "why is this being mailed to me?":

NOWHERE on my application did I provide my father's email address!!! There was a line where they asked for my father's name, so they must have connected his name to previous emails they've sent him and then sent my American passport to HIM! I know that fathers are considered the legal gauradians of thier daughters in Iran, but this is just ridiculous!
