Open you eyes and see women with scarf sitting in the panel .....to force a woman to wear it is as bad as to force a woman to take it off ... 

When will this all male dominate world of ours learn to leave women alone in their choices?  As long as we have women like you who cheers for IRI's male soccer team( despite being so discriminatory against women)  but at the same time is happy that female soccer team is banned there is no hope for any change .....

talking to you is waste of time ..... PERIOD

Here is Mostafa Heravi's Chadori ballerina:

It is sad to watch 'cause women are not allowed to dance and to wear the regular ballet outfit like tutu in Iran!

Here is the film clip description on you-tube:

In the film we see a woman in chador passionately dancing on ancient Persian music. In Iran women are not allowed to dance in public. It is written shows us how it would look like if a woman was allowed to dance. Heravi emphasizes the fate of womankind and the inescapable results of freedom of action.mostafa heravi 2006 music "farhad Mehrad" katibeh

***************************

This film reminds me of the incident that IRI forces women to play soccer with hejib!
