3. Well, to be accurate, women had it MUCH better under the Shah than they do under the Supreme Leader

and his mouthpiece the Midget Mayor.

Not that the Shah was a saint by any stretch (he wasn't, in many areas), but he was the one who LIFTED the veil--the 1979 Islamic Republic mandated it once again. And he wasn't in the habit of hanging women from cranes for crimes against chastity, either.

Women do NOT have it better in present day Iran.
