Ironisch, het regime wou na de oorlog dat men veel kinderen baarde, nu is de bevolking gemiddeld jonger dan 35, die kinderen gaan dus voor de ondergang van het regime zorgen.
Meer over de Iraanse sexuele revolutie en de fundamentele sociale en culturele transformaties.
Citaat:
When someone mentions Iran, what images leap into your mind? Ayatollahs, religious fanaticism, veiled women? How about sexual revolution? That's right. Over the last 30 years, as the mainstream Western media has been preoccupied with the radical policies of the Islamic Republic, the country has undergone a fundamental social and cultural transformation.
While not necessarily positive or negative, Iran's sexual revolution is certainly unprecedented. Social attitudes have changed so much in the last few decades that many members of the Iranian diaspora are shellshocked when they visit the country: "These days Tehran makes London look like a conservative city," a British-Iranian acquaintance recently told me upon returning from Tehran. When it comes to sexual mores, Iran is indeed moving in the direction of Britain and the United States -- and fast.
