I've not checked the legitimacy of the photo, but the premise is important to note
This is a picture from Afghanistan before 1970:

Lord that's depressing
This photo has some veracity to it; here's a CBC article about one of those female parliamentarians;
You don't need Iran to prove that. Women's rights have already been rolled back in the US, it's a mistake to assume it will stop here.
Also the Seven Mountain Dominion founding members saw Iran as a goal, but the islam replaced with christianity.
When Margaret Atwood wrote the Handmaids Tale she made sure not to include anything that hadn't actually happened in recorded history. A lot of plot points were taken from this situation.

I am from Iran. whatever point you want to make about Iran with Pahlavi dictatorship, this aint it.
the parliament in Pahlavi era was literary just rubber stamp the king orders.
when shah (king) came back with help of CIA it reversed all the mashroote (conditional monarchy) progress and became a absolute dictatorship.
Iranian women condition are way better now than under Pahlavi (outside of dress code laws).
sorry to hear about trump fucking up your rights.
There is a "hijab = oppression" idea in here. People were bullying eastern women living in US for wearing hijab at some point.
"Womens' rights is when we force them to dress western."
Which is funny given that in 10 more years well all be dressing like the Bedouin due to climate change.
Iranian women condition are way better now than under Pahlavi (outside of dress code laws).
But what about during shah and early on during ayatollah? Those times seem better for a comparison than late 70's to now
Mosaddegh just rubber stamped whatever the Shah wanted in your opinion?
Mosaddegh just rubber stamped whatever the Shah wanted in your opinion?
wow. a history buff you are not.
mosadegh came to power as a prime minister after mashroote (conditional and limited king) ,he nationalized the iranian oil and UK got but hurt so they asked CIA to overthrow him in a Coup d'état.
btw that was the first time in history of the CIA terrorist org that they did regime change.
after that even a little independent parliament was not tolerated by shah and it was complete sham after it. he became a complete tyrant and created one of the worst dictatorships ever.
I was gonna say that the current goverment is not even close to that level but that would be an insult to the islamis republic (even with its retardedness). even saudi dictatorship is heaven compared to shah.
you can read the books that shah's own men wrote about this after the ran outside of iran.
please be more informed in the basic of an issue and not be fox news level "expert"
You may know some facts but you'll never be able to convince people because you're an insulting git.
you are mostly right. that is one of my flaws.
I wish your reading comprehension was as good as your ad hominems.
Maybe give Mossadegh more than a sentence in a wall of text next time?

I thought I was proving a point that mossadegh was before that sham parliment so your point about him rubber stamping order was meaningless.
now I see that I was not respectful enough when speaking about him and I should have written a poem about him, maybe?
if you don't even know the order of historical events that happened , then please don't insult me about my "reading comprehension".
have a nice day. I am done replying to these kind of posts.

Or you keep doubling down on being ignorant.
Do you really think OPs foto is from the 70ties, Mr. history professor?
Do you really think the overthrow of the Mossadegh government is irrelevant to both the point OP is trying to make or the implied overall picture?
At this point Occam’s Razor points to you being disingenuous rather than ignorant TBH.
the point OP is trying to make or the implied overall picture the overthrow of mossadegh was before overthrow of pahlavi. it is not irrelevant.
OP point is retarded. they show women in miniskirt and then say wow before 1979 women where so "free".
if you see syria and watch the propaganda and then literal theorists( recognized by the west too) there whitewashed by the west to get a tyrannical but subservient to west goverment there that can beat women and ban all alcohol and all those "freedoms" that had under bashar and you still think this retarded post are not propaganda I have no furthur point to make to you.
go watch fox news. it is better for you.
if it was not clear enough, let me say it: the OP post is retarded propaganda. and Israel level of propaganda at that.
have a nice day.
go watch fox news. it is better for you.
This may blow your mind but there’s other countries than the US. It’s crazy that I have to point this out on a post about Iran no less.
the OP post is retarded propaganda. and Israel level of propaganda at that.
No, OP is misinformed. The only (inept) propagandist here is you.
You failed to address any point whatever by anyone in this post and are incapable of anything but being insulting. Cool achievement slow clap
This may blow your mind but there’s other countries than the US. It’s crazy that I have to point this out on a post about Iran no less.
I didn't mean you are american. I was making a point about level of history knowledge (fox news level)
No, OP is misinformed.
I shoudl have been more clear that I meant that those post started as propaganda to whitewash pahlavi regime. but yes, OP is misinformed and just repeat those porpaganda post unknowingly.
. The only (inept) propagandist here is you.
I have no idea what you mean by that. I am trying to do what exactly? what is the propaganda part I am saying?
