How is this good news? No Iran can't do everything it wants. Education is a human right and every male and female must have the right to education. The mullahs are the worst thing that ever happened to Iran in the past 2500 years. I compare it to the mongol invasion in all honesty.

i was going to say something but i thought it might offend 'religious' sentiments.

well...that better be in sarcasm....eh

afraid it aint. That's the mentality of a fundie. Now you can understand our mullahs a bit better.

If you could speak Persian, you'd be shocked about how we speak about this religion within our own circles. So you won't upset anyone but the fundies.

i have the biggest amount of distaste for 'mullahs' or any fundies in general. in all fairness, they must be exterminated, from the very root, as they say, destroy the very 'naam-o-nishan'.

if that disturbs anyone i dont give sh*t.

well, interesting thing you let out there. i have been following the Iranian Atheist/Agnostics page on FB and they have a huge audience. But then this is off topic.

All i heard is that Mullahs want to stop gender mix in universities, but they can't do because they don't have enough girls colleges and universities.

May be they want more men in the workforce.

i never got the gender part..not allowing adult (? let us assume atleast physically) men and women (lets not make it cute with 'girls') must be quite unhealthy. to interfere in the sexual selection process, fiddling with nature.

workforce ? it seems the courses under ban (allegedly) are those which would entail contact with other people.disturbing if true.

I see it other way..most of the courses mentioned comes in the science & engineering sector like oil and mining. In majority of the countries the majority of the graduates from engineering courses are males.So they never felt the need to have a male only rule while Iran seems to be an exception. The jobs in oil & mining industry is very hard and the work place very harsh..so companies usually prefer males for the job. As they couldn't find enough males, the Govt may have resorted to this quota or whatever its called.

english translation and literature then, and computer science ?

i dont believe its so simplistic.again it is unthinkable to restrict admits based on gender.

Thats weird

Well I will wait till females outnumber males by a huge margin in science & technology courses in India.
