Iran was once very westernized. Women there were once treated better than dogs and not bound up in garbage bags. The fall of the Shah ended all of their freedom. Oddly, women in the US mostly supported another Muslim tyrant in back to back elections. Thank our old media enemies for this.
You are correct, they were better treated than dogs. You can thank the peanut farmer from Georgia, who was a friend and Ally of the United Stated for the fall of the Shah.
