This is so sad, but it also reminds me how incredibly brave these women are. The control they’re dealing with is just sickening.

While in the west, leftists and islamists insist the hijab is a choice

And the activists in the west will not respond to this because for years they’ve lobbied for the US to leave Afghanistan

That’s what an actual patriarchy acts like.

And priviledged western people will still insist that hijab is just a fasion choice, that it is just a custom, any criticism is islamophobia. Or that being a woman is just a fluid gender expression, and anyone can just identify as a man, if they do not want to be wearing hijab.

>Up to 150 Afghan men had reportedly gathered in the western city of Herat to show their solidarity with more than a dozen women who had been arrested last week for going out in public without a full chador cloak or face-covering burqa.
Good to see people in that society trying to do the right thing. Might be futile against the barbarism of the Taliban, but still sends a message.

All religions are not the same. Sure most have extremism but not at all the same

Bold move in a country that was created by an insurgency

In before I hear some type of argument that they choose to wear hijab and that it’s their personal choice to wear one.
In all honesty, it’s a shame the women there are suffering so much. I only hope that they can get some type of freedom.

The single greatest resource any nation has is its population. Nations that don’t invest in their population are always going to be way more shitty than those that do.
When giving an example of that I usually use Afghanistan because they cut women off from education after just a few years of elementary school. They are literally throwing away the potential of half of their population to help to grow and improve their nation. Here they are not only throwing it away, but enforcing that disposal with violence based on centuries old mythology.

This is why no democracy will ever have relations with or provide aid to a Taliban government. They made their deal with Trump to „win“ their war and now they can rot. Fuck the Taliban.

Herat was also one of the last holdouts when the Taliban took back over. Glad to see the people haven’t changed.

No kidding, women having rights in Afghanistan?
It’s against their religion.

Earlier this week, the UN Security Council was briefed on the situation in Afghanistan.
The Secretary-General’s Special Deputy Representative for Afghanistan, Georgette Gagnon said “we are witnessing severe and growing restrictions” upon women and girls under the Taliban, and warned of “long-term generational consequences for Afghan society as a whole.”
Sorry. Spent a trillion dollars and a thousand of lives trying to correct this. Outside of Kabul and the non-Pashtun northern minorities, the people overwhelmingly wanted this shit or they would have tried, just a tiny bit, to fight against it in the 2 decades they had overwhelming military might behind them. But they didn’t. The ANA was a joke. The people were a joke.
Maybe I’ll give a fuck again in a few decades, but for now, I think I’m due a lecture from some basement dwelling conspiracy loser about heroin and child slavery (both things the Taliban also peddle – sorry we couldn’t stamp out old habits without offending the locals too much).

It is a sensitive subject as are all religious topics. But my take would be that if scripture is telling people to follow certain guidelines then it is up to that individual to honour their own conscience and not assume the position of dictating for others.
