"Indeed, the idea of married men cooking for their wives is viewed in Iran as highly eccentric." Yes, unlike how things are in the West, where men cook and clean the homes. And then this: "But the official Iranian concept of equality is very different from that understood by Western feminists". Yes, please inform us of the Western notion of equality? Was that the notion that drove the US to invade and occupy Afghanistan? And don't you like it how when Western media speak about women in other countries they make it sound as if Western men are all radical feminists? (thanks Mohsen--and Mohsen is a Saudi male who is more feminist than most American men I know)
