ok so people are asking what happened after 1980, lemme just clear a few things up: -The Islamic revolution happened in 1979. An Islamic leader overthrew the monarchy and it all seemed like an okay idea back then but as time went on we realised this revolution caused a great deal of bullshit to happen. Not to mention the lack of freedom and oppression of the civilians by our shitty government, all under the name of Islam. -The majority of Iranians were Muslim before the Islamic revolution happened. They didn't suddenly become Muslim after 1980 (and a lot of them wore Hijab too) -The reason you see the women wearing Hijabs after 1980 is simply because after the Islamic revolution, there were laws enforced onto all women which required them to cover themselves in public, whether they liked it or not -So what you see in the video is basically how a woman in Iran presented herself in public throughout the decades -After 1980, you see their HIjab style loosening up as the Iranian women found new ways to be fashionable and showcase their beauty despite the limitations of the Islamic dress code. (Because us Iranian girls take good care of ourselves and we can look fabulous no matter what gets in our way ;*  ) -Also... disclaimer: the Iranian government may call itself "the islamic republic" but in my opinion they are in no way representative of Islam because under Islamic law you are not allowed to force a woman to wear a HIjab, you are not allowed to arrest her for not wearing one, you are not allowed to invade people's privacy and take their satellite dishes from their homes etc. etc. all of which the Iranian government does to their own people.   (So next time you insult a religion without knowing its actual teachings, think... Maybe it's not the religion. Maybe it's the people in power doing evil deeds in the name of religion.) -Thank you, a Muslim Iranian woman
