as Jesus once said, "fat chance!"
with one sex controlling the state and the economy, who do you think
will dominate? being relegated to domestic labor has a tendency to
"divide and rule."
The female proportion of Iran's labor force has gone up, from 20% in
1980 to 33% in 2004. Give it a couple more decades, and it will be
close to Japan (41% in 2004) and the USA (46% in 2004).
