I’ve seen a lot of photos from Iraq and Iran from the 60s/70s, and it’s drastically different. The women are wearing regular clothes, for example. Why have those regions become so regressive in the modern day if they were normal 40 years ago?

More can be written, but in the meantime, you might like to read replies by /u/CptBuck at "RE: Head Coverings in the Middle East" and "Iran's equality laws, how have they changed throughout history?" (there's a lot of overlap).

This is not to discourage discussion. More questions, data, and debate are always welcome.
