Golbarg Bashi (Persian: گلبرگ باشی; born 6 January 1974, Ahvaz, Iran) is an Iranian-Swedish feminist and former adjunct lecturer of Iranian studies in the US.
Among other topics, Bashi has published works and given talks[citation needed] about human rights in the Middle East and the situation of women in Iran.
Brainquake was a criticism of the Boobquake event, which Bashi argued was an unhelpful and inappropriate way of drawing attention to legitimate issues.
The issue at hand was a statement by Tehran's leader in Friday Prayer, saying that women who wear immodest clothing and behave promiscuously cause earthquakes.
Bashi and Brainquake advocates argued that instead of highlighting one's physical differences, women should show off their CVs and lists of accomplishments.
