That's all really interesting. You make me want to look into that alot more. Do you think there's benefits to openly accepting the imposition of feminism and gay rights (be it culture or money), and has Iran stood to miss out on opportunities these would grant them?

Or do you think western civilizations simply use these things as ploys to appease the "sheep" to better control them and profit off of them by pandering to them? As I speculate that myself, it seems the latter is definitely the least honorable avenue to take.
