There are elected women holding high government offices in Iran.
There are de-juro Islamic dress code but two in three women are ignoring it.
You can see them dressing the way Europeans do and if they are stopped by the police they claim they are Christian or Jewish or Communist. That basically means case closed and they go.
The portrayal of Iranian society in media is heavily distorted to say the least.
They are extraordinary free by Middle Eastern standards.
Go compare to Saudi Arabia.

I’ll have to tell my friend whose sister and friends have been picked up and questioned several times for having pants too short that showed their ankles or not having their head scarf on properly.
All the authorities have to do is look at a person’s name on their ID card to be able to tell if they’re Christian or Jewish. And identifying as a communist will get you thrown in jail.
Where did you get this crap from?
