Iranian women have to get permission from their husbands to work and if a husband deems the employment of a woman to insult the honor of the family, he can revoke said permission at any time. If a woman is killed, the nearest living male relative can decide whether or not to forgive the murderer. This decision cannot be made by female relatives. A women's testimony can always be overruled if a man testifies the opposite. If the family of a murder victim wants to receive money instead of seeing the murdered hanged, the murderer has to pay only half the blood money if the victim was female. Leaving Iran without the husbands permission is prohibited.

Women are routinely banned from certain events like football games or other public spectacles. Women are more often rejected as candidates in "elections".

Rape has to be proven by at least three witnesses; spousal compensation ends, as soon as women leave their marital home.

Women are second class citizens in Iran. Not just through societal patterns, but by law.

I totally agree with you on your stance towards western involvement, but the amount of people outright denying that the IR is terrible for its people just disgusts me.
