Really now? 
"You think that the system they have now is one of their choosing. It's not. It's what shook out at the end, but it was forced on them."
Yes and no. There are varying degrees of democracy. The Shah instigated a military coup with the help of the CIA to depose a democratically elected president. A president who was not a right winger by the way. If democracy had been allowed to flourish, women's rights would have progressed even further.
The United States system is not fully democratic today either. It especially wasn't after its revolution, with slavery and without women's suffrage, but that doesn't mean it was more of a dictatorship than King George.
Just because it wasn't perfect, didn't mean the US should have gone back to Monarchy. Just because it was less despotic, didn't mean it did not need progressive change. However, the people who won those changes never did it by going around spouting "THINGS SURE WERE BETTER WITH KING GEORGE" in every single discussion about bringing change. Which is basically what I see from a lot of Iranian Ex-pats. I promise you these 30 women do not want that kind of help.
PS - Look more into the usage of the term disheveled. But your last post was to most coherent one yet, so thumbs up.
