Khamenei: The West has broken all moral & human boundaries & seeks to normalize & legalize all sins that are forbidden in all religions. Prohibitions on homosexuality, etc. are not limited to Islam. These are strictly forbidden in all religions. They legalize these & are not even ashamed

Khamenei: In the West's capitalistic system, it was the men who were managing the economy, trade deals, & such. Thus, men have priority over women in the capitalistic system. Since capital is more in the hands of men, men have a higher priority
