I doubt anyone, save Iran's western opponents, believes the demonstrations are a result of built up systematic repression. ONLY women are participating the vast majority of the times and males who are attempting to support THEM. This is not something that has been building up. But rather was instigated in a color revolution.

Calling Alinejad a journalist is like calling Edward Snowden a journalist. They are nothing other than whistleblowers. Except Alinejad lied this one instance and shows glee when people die.

Please don't make these protests largely about the regime. They are specifically protesting for their rights.
