Throughout their education, from playgroup to university, they will benefit from more favourable treatment than their male contemporaries. When they go to work, they can follow any career they fancy as far as their talents will take them. They will be free to marry (or not) anybody they choose; to divorce if it goes wrong; to get pregnant when it suits them; and to abort their babies if pregnancy should not suit them. They can wear anything they like - or even nothing if they prefer – and nobody is going to summon the police, still less the mullahs.
