    “Women have explained the same traumas: pregnancies they cannot prevent, miscarriages they cannot treat and violence they cannot escape.”

    This is so sad. I am so thankful I live in a country where things like this don’t happen. 

  2. An Afghan man i was talking to mentioned how the Taliban has restored “honour” in their culture and was very happy about them… I seriously feel bad for those of them who broke free from that mentality but Afghanistan is COOKED

  3. We knew this would happen. To think some people thought those Taliban [Removed by Reddit]s taking over a country was a *good* thing.

  4. There’s a Deathclock episode where they’re prisoners for some dude with a harem of oppressed women that start a revolt during the song and end up castrating the fat bastard. It’d be nice to see life imitate art.

    these poor women are basically raped by their husbands, abused mentally and physically, and not provided any care. this is so sad to read and know this is a reality in today’s world.

    This is just horrific. I feel disgusted of being human. Why do we insist on creating hell on earth?

    Well, it’s going to be the one of the shortest lived theocracies.

    Not only a decent size portion of the population esp women hate it, but women can’t be doctors, and men can’t touch women, men can’t help women out of fallen buildings, they can’t help with birth complications, a lot of women will die and a lot less will be born, esp if the parents also don’t want daughters in this environment on top of that. There’s a very obvious point when they will die out if they keep that up. Unfortunately women and girls first.

    On top of that they’ve completely undermined their own multicultural society. There have always been a lot of ethnic groups in Afghanistan, all doing things their own way, in their own style of dress, with their own languages and culture. They started wiping that out in favour of weird interpretations of Arabic culture out of islamism, but at this point you have a desi culture that likes dancing and you have young boys dancing because it would be improper for women. You have cultures where women singling is part of spiritual practice and traditions for bringing community together and women aren’t allowed to speak or sing outside of their house. What a sad life these men are creating for themselves without any of the typical benefits of femininity and care in their communities. No kind words from a granny after yours has passed. No young girls playing. No coming home to your wife having a laugh with her neighbour.

    Should had given the guns to the Afghan women, not the men.

    Unironically would had put up more of a fight.

  9. It is easy to ban birth control, but what use is it when you are not able to provide enough security to allow kids to get older than 5? They are managing the country so well that infant and mother mortality is through the roof.

    I have a suspicion that the Taliban will be a problem that solves itself. Pragmatically, if you want to compete on the world stage, you don’t sideline half of your workforce.

    this is worst if we remember that there’s a Lot of inbreeding between Afgan population (mostly because of sexual abuse and marrying between cousins even).

    so future Afghanistan generations won’t be better at all probably…

    This is awful, also, it’s the exact direction the Heritage Foundation wants to take the U.S.
