Couldn’t think of a thread to post this so here goes. Just a reminder how lucky most of us are to live in places where that is not an issue, and at least Hoori doesn’t have to deal with that shit anymore either.

Changing old culture is hard. The globalization of the world, with media and at an individual level, is putting unique pressures on ideas that many cultures have been traditionally insulated from. This isn't just in Iran of course.
There's going to be a lot of ugly pushback on the way to any eventual progress. Because the rate of change is increasing, and insulation is a losing battle.

The Imams have a huge influence, they play the religion card to manipulate so many and particularly Muslims who you brainwash easily by taking Quranic text out of context. Very similar to ISIS methods.
People who think outside the Iranian box get punished, if any thought or idea is forced you'll naturally question it leading to 'deviant behaviour'. The Iranians that I know have given up religion because of this but it's actually down to those forcing their skewed ideas as opposed to someone going on a spiritual journey then deciding that they reject the religion.

For some it's salvation, some people couldn't live without it. People who are religious need a deep understanding and sincerity. If you follow text with sincerity but no understanding you get fanatic behaviour and a rigid mindset. If you have a deep understanding but no sincerity you'll get a person abusing their power in the name of religion. This applies all across the board from the US to Russia.
They use religion to clamp down on activists example being jail for not covering the hair as Ronn said. Nowhere in religion is it stated that is it fine to jail a woman for not covering her hair but the military and police are strong enforcers of such laws. Again, it's a cover for brutality and dictatorship common to many Arab countries unfortunately.
Yes, but I don't call it push, its gradual changes.
Women's demand for going to the stadium is a new thing, wasn't exist like 6 7 years ago.
Thanks to social media and the internet in this relatively short period of time, its become one of the most controversial issues in our society.
and remember the demand for going to the stadium is just a pretext to protest for all their basic rights that they don't have
There was a time, after the 1979 Revolution, that women had to strictly cover their heads and wear loose clothing in order not to be sexually appealing in public, nowadays women barley cover their head.
and No, women don't go to jail for not covering their heads, they just get a warning from Moral Polic for breaking the law.
but if they promote not having hijab and make a political issue of it, yes they will definitely go to jail.

Yeah absolutely absurd, but as I said before, it's not like they put you in jail because you don't cover your head, they barely care (mullas do, the government doesn't). people post semi-naked photos of themselves in social media and nobody cares.
and what I said before applies to this case that you post too, she was an activist meaning she vocally protested against the hijab and promoted not having hijab, and in this cases consequences are severe, and of course absurd.
