The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    I believe the intent was, “Don’t you find it odd that I’ve never beaten or raped a woman, if it is ostensibly inevitable?” Or “How do you explain that I’ve never…”

    But it’d make more sense to ask a misogynistic Afghani man. E.g. “Wouldn’t you rather your wife live naked in my home?”

      If your goal is to appear less misogynistic - maybe don’t concentrate so much on naked women living in your house?

      Goddamn.
