I’m sick of seeing this specific propaganda line. Western liberal norms were only common in Imperial Iran among the urban, educated upper classes, a very small group. And it ignores the rampant corruption and repression under the Shah. Fuck khomeini tho
All of this can be true and at the same time jt can remain a reminder of the fact that rights are easily lost. Fuck the Shah and fuck Khomeini but also remember our rights as women are hard won and easily lost.
