Iranian university bans on women causes consternation

Article 

With the start of the new Iranian academic year, a raft of restrictions on courses open to female students has been introduced, raising questions about the rights of women to education in Iran - and the long-term impact such exclusions might have.

More than 30 universities have introduced new rules banning female students from almost 80 different degree courses.
These include a bewildering variety of subjects from engineering, nuclear physics and computer science, to English literature, archaeology and business.

 Thank you Iran for volinteering to cripple your work force.
While you have 74 million people and are trying to battle a nation with more than 300 million (the USA) , so you're already crippled, deciding to add to yourself an extra handicap of excluding women from being scientists and engineers means your population weighs in as if it were 32 million , compared to the american 300 million where females may be engineers.

In short, you have the population resource base of Canada , since you've deligated all woman to be stay at home mom's , and you're trying to take on the whole world in the name of your religion.

Truely , I am inspired by your faith and dedication.

Though perhaps not your intelligence.

Thank you kindly.
