Iranians in Psychotherapy

prove this or shut up.

A few years ago, after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, according to the UN reports, due to economic dislocation, a half million East European women who had migrated to the Western countries ended up in Western brothels.

and now you want to blame the IRI's repression of woman on the West?  i'd pity you if i wasn't laughing so hard.

a few reminders

Fallaci was incredibly virulent towards Moslems and Islam. A scrutiny of Fallaci's personal views over the years leaves an indelible impression that she shared the racist worldview of her Western cultural background. She is prying him, sort of inveigling him, to express misogynous views which would satisfy Fallaci's own Western prejudices. You need to watch for that. The interlocutor herself is deeply biased, If she gets the Iranian ruler to say a few misogynous statements, then she and her ilk can use it: 'wink! wink! look how backward they are!' Do you get the point I am trying to make? Moreover, do not share the biased Western perspective, which is deeply racist albeit subtle often, that the status of women in Iran is equivalent to an apartheid state that existed in the US southern states & South Africa. They are NOT equivalent: 60% of Iran's university students are females; and on my last trip to Iran, quite often in government offices, I came across women with authority. The Western civilization, if one reads carefully its annals, is deeply misogynous, however. A few years ago, after the dissolution of the Warsaw Pact, according to the UN reports, due to economic dislocation, a half million East European women who had migrated to the Western countries ended up in Western brothels. You can not tell me that the Western governments did not know about this or were unable to help these poor women get decent jobs? After the violent death of Nicole Simpson, the Time magazine devoted a whole issue to the syndrome of battered & raped American women reaching an epidemic proportion. A caveat: nations like Iran who have been subjected to Western colonialism for centuries, trying to extricate their oppressed massed from the degraded state which Western colonialism bestowed upon them, quite often impose stringent moral etiquettes & social criteria, the objective being to induce the population to cease viewing themselves through the racist western prism that has been interiorized. It is a long process of reintegration of dignity & equality & justice into the fabric of a nation whose sovreignty has just been restored.
