I feel proud as a human to see these brave women standing up for their rights and wish them and their fellow countrypeople all of the success with no bloodshed. It's time we move out of the age of religious compulsion on all fronts.

Funny thing is, as a practicing muslim - there is no compulsion in religion (direct quote from the Qur'an). Iran literally is using the ignorance of the populace to push their own means of controlling the masses.

Is your point that an exec losing his job (he can get several thousand lower paying jobs and still survive like most people do) is somehow analogous to a woman being jailed or killed for what they choose to wear (or not to wear, in this case?)

Well there’s already a ton of bloodshed so that may not be the best wish

Well of course it's free will to avoid detention by morality police.
Freedom of choosing what you wear doesn't mean freedom from consequences (to paraphrase the very popular, and idiotic, phrase about free speech that some people tend to use).
