Googoosh - Iran's daughter

Googoosh is a famous singer from Iran during the Shah's rule. When the Islamic republic is formed she is denied to sing publicly or even record songs. The argument being that a woman's voice is distracting to men. Makes you think that Iran's men are not capable of noble feelings towards women and everything related to women must be kept under wraps. Googoosh is a beautiful woman and is an awesome singer who works day and night at her music and who grew up on stage. And one day she can sing no more because it is forbidden. Fundamentalism is unfortunately the great equalizer and all women are the same and in this case some kind of parcels.
