And some people here are still going to tell you it wasn't better before 1979. I miss the Shah !
It wasn't, certainly for a lot of people.
Why on earth do you think the revolution happened in the first place?
And had the support of about three quarters of the population (at least) when it did??
This is just a more modern version of "actually, the Czars were good". And equally obviously false.
Women in Iran had more freedom before the Islamic Republic. I don't think it's debatable.
Even if true, irrelevant to the point I was making.
