Iran
13 Answers
It finally looks like internal dissent, and the brutal actions by the regime against women and young people in particular, is reaching critical mass in Iran. Let's hope that change can happen without too much bloodshed. Currently people are being lifted from demonstrations and butchered.

Any one remember this?
In March 1979, the white American feminist Kate Millett landed in Tehran, in the wake of one of the most significant revolutions of the 20th century. Just weeks earlier, the Shah—the monarch of Iran—had been overthrown. Millett arrived with a suitcase of recording equipment and her partner, filmmaker Sophie Kier. While there, Millett methodically recorded her whispered reflections on everything around her: the cups of tea with her hosts, the hours stuck in traffic, and the International Women’s Day celebration, which exploded into major protests against Ayatollah Khomeini’s new mandatory veiling laws.1
Millett’s whispers were the raw material for her own Going to Iran (1982),
They chucked her out double quick. Millett mistook the revolution as liberating. Later in the ONLY instance ever, the leddies of Iran voted to disenfranchise themselves
