Formal protests are getting smaller and civil disobedience is spreading fast. It's fairly common now to see women refusing to wear the hijab in public. The cops are still trying to arrest them all, which is absolutely self defeating as they will soon have to contend with male family members who are angry that their dinner isn't on the table and their children are untended, unfed, whiny, and dirty.

The best way to get rid of oppressive laws is widespread civil disobedience. The laws will stay on the books, but eventually they can no longer be enforced.

Women have been cutting their hair off in protest, since that's what those mad Mullahs are so uptight about. I just wonder how long it will take before they start to shave it all off.
