For the Taliban, women are sexual slaves whose sole purpose is to be baby making machines: they're not human beings.

What a backward society. Under that thinking, a post menopausal woman would be useless.
-
Luckily we here in America have much more encouraging and progressive viewpoints from people like our VP nominee Vance who said the purpose of "postmenopausal females" is to provide backup childcare.

Don't forget that they have to cook and clean as well.
-
So exactly JD Vance's stand
-
No they are extremely human. Human beings are completely capable of this complete dominance of each other. Dont ever dehumanize these atrocities. It paints a picture that we didn't do it. We did.
-
I don't think they were calling the Taliban less than human. Rather commenting on how the Talibam view women as less than human.
-
I think they meant "the Taliban doesn't consider women to be humans"
Its explaining that dehumanization is how this shit happens
-
You don't deserve these download down votes. Don't ever change.

Never ask about:
A man - his wage
A woman - her age
A talib - what they do to a boy aged 5-12
-
TIL
And I wish I hadn't.

Be glad you've not been born there to learn it first-hand. Afghanistan is what rightards want for Europe to become under their reign and other label. This menace is real and you can oppose it.

Why are they so afraid of women?
-
Who would be the servants and sexual submissives if women were free to do as they pleased?

Hawt

Conservative Sunni Islam's attitude towards women basically boils down to men needing to see as little as possible of them, lest they become uncontrollably rapey. Shia are a little bit less misogynistic, and Sufi are significantly less so.

I find that so utterly bizarre, like, you can't control your sexual impulses like a normal person does unless every woman in your field of vision is dressed like a Halloween ghost?
-
Sunni Islam does not prescribe women being fully veiled nor does it forbid schooling. The Taliban are following tribalism not Islam.
-
-
Probably because many local women would outright reject the Taliban, as partners and as masters, if they had a say. Educated women especially would run circles around them.

Power.

I feel like the Taliban rule workshopping is something like, "Okay, everyone write down ANYthing that get you off or arouses you. Alright, let's see... 'women's feet,' yeah, banned. 'Clothes,' okay banned. 'Women singing.' Y'all some fucked up, but also banned."
-
They banned CLOTHES? >.>

What often grates on me is the "We never should have left Afghanistan! Look at what they're doing to women!!" folks abutting the "We need to respect their customs. These theocratic dictatorships are just like that and there's nothing we can do" folks who turn a blind eye to all our allies on the Saudi Peninsula, the African coast, and the Indian subcontinent get up to.
You need both in order to execute a new campaign of regime change, because arms and troops have to flow through friendly bases in India or Pakistan to get to Afghanistan. But the end policy only ever seems to be "we permit you to be horrible, so long as you're committing these horrors on our team".
Would love for a genuine trans-national feminist movement. But when feminism is a dead letter in our friends in Japan, Poland, and Israel, how the hell is it supposed to penetrate to our enemies in Bad Korea, Afghanistan, and Cuba?

The fuck
-
We don't need to respect their customs. We need to respect their people, including their people's need for emotional healthy relationships which are often in conflict with elements in their cultures that only feel entitled to dominate.
-
-
Once, I talked with a Muslim, and I said that they are afraid of women. He told me that they aren't afraid of women; they respect them so much that they have to cover them and do all these kinds of things
-
Obviously. How else would they protect them from their uncontrollable male urges?
/S in case anyone gets confused...
-
"We protect them like diamonds!"
"So you protect them like objects?"
-
-
Religionheads are the worst
-
Well I'm happy a war was fought to liberate them and bring them the joys of deMoCRacy and cheap beer
-
The war in Afghanistan was lost the moment Bush switched gears to invade Iraq.
He pulled resources out that never went back, and then Obama did the same to fight ISIL. And then Trump pulled even more out just because.
As the years went on, more of the security was offloaded to a corrupt interm government that never quite managed to become self sufficient.
When Trump did his pull out, he got Congress to pull funding. That funding was all that wa keeping the Afghani military going.
Then Biden had to finish the pull out, and he did not stick the landing.
Also bonus fun fact. The Taliban is very likely going to start the world's first Water War. They've been damming and diverting rivers that their neighbors rely on.
-
Also, not making sure that the Afghan Army had all-female battalions.

-
Man I can't believe they've done it. Who saw this coming
-
Can you believe it, MAGA has more in common with the Taliban and Russian neo-nazis than being American? At least, their platform reflects an obvious roadmap to these destinations.
-
This is taking victim blaming women for the mens' reactions to their existence to a new level of so stupid it won't work and will actually have the opposite effect in that people are MORE frustrated, sexually or otherwise.
-
Should not be a shock to anyone.
-
The usual women as posession of the mate shtick.
-
Conservatives gotta conserve.
-
Yes, we know, radical Islam forbids joy of any kind. What a miserable existence.
-
Same as Iran now.

GOP - "Write that down! WRITE THAT DOWN!"
“Wait… you just pass a law and women can’t talk? Call the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. We have the final solution.”
Does the law also apply to Marjorie Taylor-Greene?
Is there a way to make it only apply to Marjorie Taylore-Greene?
Let’s maybe not call it the final solution.
Pfft, they stole that from Project 2025, Appendix F
