No, I agree with you, it is a veneer of education. I went out with a few Iranians in my youth and saw how much influence their families and tradition had on them - which was why I handed back my engagement ring, luckily for me as the country was in upheaval a year later.
In most relationships in this country, if something goes wrong and men and women disagree the women know that their voices will be heard. I say most, because it's still too easy for immigrant women to be invisible. But women in many countries are still only tolerated as long as they behave themselves and look happy. If they argue because they feel or see injustice, there is trouble. There are still far too many men who feel that just being a man makes their opinions the right one to have. There are still a few of those left in this country, their numbers are lessening thank heavens. But as long as they do exist, children will see subservient mothers and think that it is the way to be.
