New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.
The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.
Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.
GOP taking notes…
Free free Palestine
U lost bro?
If I had to guess, they’re probably trying to argue, through some very convoluted logic, that muslims aren’t real people and therefore no amount of dead Palestinians can be bad
That’s a lot more thought than I put into interpreting their 3 word comment lol.
Fair haha, I’m just used to seeing this type of comment elsewhere. Whenever it gets followed up, that’s usually what it boils down to
Look at those sexy shoes! My gosh! Maybe all women should wear only worn out men’s shoes in color brown and wear brown or black socks all the way up the knees? Also the standard should be panties. Shorts, pants, an aluminum shield in the form of pants a beautiful skirt and then the burka and then a whole car cover.
Heck, maybe just ship all women to Mexico? Why not do that? Then they could wear anything they want and the Taliban men can be at ease?
No? Okay, better encase the women in concrete from the waist up and knees down. Those are the useless parts. The Taliban is only interested in the vagina required to make more Taliban.
How about lab grown vaginas attached to Taliban males?
Their thinking is so backwards and cognitively dissonant it is maddening. I wish the women could successfully rise up and overthrow these shitstain people that call themselves “men.”
Unfortunately quite a few of the women support it. The truth is there were enough supporters of democracy and sharia to make either work. The elite prefer sharia though because it offers more control and aligns with tribal structures better.
Wow I can’t believe these Taliban folks are so misogynistic. I for one am totally blindsided by this.
“Taliban”. That rings a bell for some reason. I swear I’ve heard it before!
Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. It always has been.
Funny how Christian conservatives in the west still insist they share nothing in common with Muslim fundamentalists…
Coming soon to a US State near you!
Women’s rights won’t be properly protected in the US unless we put a pussy grabber back in the White House instead of… (checks notes)… a woman.
Cool cool. Ferengi have infiltrated earth.
Ferengi prefer their feeeemales completely nude, thankyouverymuch.
Well, all Abrahamic religions oppress women but Islam wins by a long shot. It needs reformation and badly.
1.8 billion muslims in about 57 countries around the world oppress women and need reform according to OP. In addition, op also claim that another 2.8 billion christian also oppress women but not as bad.
Statically speaking to determine if something a problem among 46000 millions people you need at least 1% of such population doing something, that is about 460 million people. Taliban government is about 200,000 people which is less than 0.001%
U ok buddy?
He thinks he is making a point. It’s cute when they do that.
Why would it need reformation? It just needs to be abolished, making part of it better just lends false legitimacy to the whole.
Their are many more moderate sects of Islam, they just didn’t get all the US and Saudi $$$$ to spread their beliefs.
Not sure how right or wrong that is when taking into account the more moderate sections of it, but in this particular case, as the article says, it’s not really about Islam. The holy texts don’t really call for any of this.
Are you saying this is just toxic masculinity and militias run amok?
My understanding of Afghanistan’s complex situation isn’t sufficient to confirm or deny, sorry.
I’m not an anthropologist or a religion expert but you don’t have to be one to notice that the most oppressive cultures towards women or gay people have one common denominator. Islam. Honour killings, marrying underage girls, do I need to keep going?
well maybe you need to educate your self before accusing a bout 1.8 billion people of something less than 100,000 do.
Burn their holy book and see what happens. Burn a bible and compare. You’re either arguing in bad faith or very naive, and I’m being extremely generous here. Good luck with this level of cognition
So you don’t like the cognitive that objective to the fact there are 1.8 billion muslium and you casting a general statement. You are not even attempting to compare “Muslium” to “Non Muslium” or doing any form of “thoughts” to support your comments other than personal feelings.
Even if 30% of muslims are actively against any violence there is still enough critical mass to make this religion an existential threat to the western world.
Sooo I guess they can’t order anything from a counter, tell employees what size they need etc.
So the men do all the shopping then, do they?
I’ve got to say, I’m having a very hard life and can’t see a way forward to any sort of financial stability or security. But this would be a lot worse. Makes you think.

Why is that line even there? Of course the site is going to say itself is good.
OP linked to it.
No the bots putting the mbfc self check at top of posts linked publication
Yes. Because OP linked to it.
So the bot thinks comments are higher priority or mbfc is always on top. Great :/
That’s just the multipolar world kicking in
“This document not only violates Afghanistan’s domestic laws but also broadly contravenes all 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”
They didn’t think it could be done, but I knew I could do it. All 30 articles in one law!
