1. Why the Mullahs hate educated, confident women qualified to live successful lives ...

... are out of step with times. They will lose in the end, at least in Iran. Education is the key.

2. I'm following this story. Or trying to.

Even High schools are involved with protests. The protesters are handing out flyers because they have no internet. The Iranian government is apparently trying to blame the US. Lots of people arrested

There is a stunning media silence on this

3. I agree

Part of that is the tentative behavior coming from western governments themselves, per the commenter in this clip.

4. I agree about the travel ban, but it needs to be targeted at Iranian MEN

Inconvenience businessmen and sex tourists, and they'll overthrow those Mullahs overnight.

None of the repressive laws against women will change until the Mullahs are gone. Having once made a ridiculous and un Islamic set of laws, they're not going to go back on them. Religion has to be set into stone and passed down through the ages. It can't change.

That might be a strength for believers, but it becomes a deadly weakness when it tries to govern a country.
