  Facts, it’s all about equality until it’s time for someone to defend an idea with actions and not talking points, Twitter posts and shaming language. They don’t need men until it’s time to do something
context: medieval ass-backwards fucking governments still being a thing nowadays is insane >
  
  Didn’t some women hold jobs even in medieval times? >
  
  Women held the positions of wife, mother, peasant, artisan, and nun, as well as some important leadership roles, such as abbess or queen regnant. >
  
  Brewing was female-dominated through much of Europe for much of the period. >
  
  Now it’s dominated by crunchy hipsters with mustaches and plaid shirts >
  
  And so I must ask: is there any other type of "crunchy hipster"? >
  
  No but there are degrees of crunchiness - mustache and plaid are automatically level 2, but I didn’t specify whether or not they had eCigarettes, or bicycles with wheel guards and bells, or carry a satchel. >
  
  What's wrong with wheel guards? It keeps the wheel from spraying a stripe of road water up my back. >
  
  Bicycles are for recreation and for children, not for transport of adults. Recreation can only be accomplished in ideal conditions so water on a road and pedestrians to ring a bell at will never be encountered by bicycles.
  So sayeth the (tongue-in-cheek) gatekeeper! >
  
  To keep supplying aid, against the fundamental principles of aid agencies, is not possible. 
  How can you provide support to a regime that is so far removed from the principles of equality, self determination and individual dignity? 
  They would be giving the food that keeps the Taliban strong enough to murder its citizens. >
  
  It’s just hilarious to me that they feel obliged to take any international aid. 
  Fuck em. >
  
  There is never going to be good news coming from Afghanistan, you can count on that at least >
  
  Yep. The Graveyard of Empires since the time of Alexander the Great. >
  
  I am suprised people are suprised by this. 
  I mean come on, they are hardcore religious fanatics with no education but gun.
  What do you expect ? >
  
  More Gun. >
  
  7th century values created by warlords of that era and espoused by warlords of this era, are considered perfect god's words, they will stop at nothing. 
  The only thing we can do is call out their behavior in the harshest words, so that others think of the repercussions. >
  
  Not surprising: that the Taliban has done this. 
  Surprising: that the Taliban took this long to do this. >
  
  Evacuate the women, leave the sausages behind. >
  
  Seriously, then they will have no choice but to go fuck themselves. 
  All I see from these cretins is what a country would look like if incels ran things. >
  
  They fuck the little boys. It's a thing, sadly. Look up bacha bazi if you want to be further disgusted by humanity. >
  
  Bacheh bazi isn't some Afghan cultural phenomenon, IDK why this keeps getting repeated. Bacheh bazi is literally the persian translation for "pedophilia". 
  Pedophiles live everywhere, and tend to thrive in lawless failed backwards countries... like Afghanistan >
  
  It is terrible yet I don't see what can be done.
  I do truly wish for change, there and everywhere, including countries like mine who think they have it all worked out! >
  
  We should invade Afghanistan and bring them freedom and democracy again. >
  
  It didn’t work the first time, but sure try again I guess. >
  
  It hasn't worked since 1893. Too fragmented a land, too fragmented a people, too little control possible from Kabul, too little incentive and desire for civilization outside the main cities. 
  Quite frankly, so long as they do not create the conditions for external terrorism, they are better off left to their own devices. 
  If they again support terrorists, I guess someone can bomb the mountains and dirt roads into oblivion for a decade like the Soviets did, or for two like the coalition did, but to expect a different result would be futile. >
  
  Maybe majority want democracy some day after long corrupted taleban rule. The desire for change must come from within. >
  
  This is beyond ridiculous. People against their better judgment help them out because otherwise it would be a humanitarian catastrophe for the population. And instead of playing along they still place demands on how they're being helped. Because they simply don't care about rhe humanitarian catastrophe. 
  It is important to remember that these aids are not supporting the Taliban rulers but are there to save people from death. >
  
  This is slavery. >
  
  A nation under the rule if Incels, psychopaths who see women as objects only worthy of "breeding" and raising children while never being allowed to leave their home without being on a leash attached to a man of any age. They seem to believe that a women's sole purpose is to please men. That's what I see, they are just incels using religion as a weapon to make their country a boys only club where the women exist to serve. 
  Which come to think of it was basically the concept in handmaids tale if I recall. Didn't the author say everything that happened in the book actually happened somewhere at some time? Like every policy and societal norm was at one point a real thing somewhere? >
  
  Stop throwing buzzwords you don't even understand. Taliban rule in Afganistan because it works. USSR and the US tried to change things, but the people helped taliban undo everything in a matter of weeks. >
  
  I sum this up by saying the US went to Afghanistan to bring them freedom thing is they wanted the freedom to oppress women >
  
  The US doesn't care about freedom for women in Afghanistan. If they cared about women, they wouldn't be allies with KSA. 
  KSA used to punish women for being raped. >
  
  That's not the Taliban I know >
  
  Yet they still have a sit at the UN's commission on the status of women. >
  
  Afghanistan is just a giant man-cave for the depraved "leaders". >
  
  Who would of thought the Taliban would act like the Taliban.. >
  
  The west should have trained the women to fight, not the men. >
  
  This was tried and tried hard. They were just never able to get enough female recruits. I think they only managed something like 5000 women in the security forces. It wasn't anywhere near enough. >
  
  At some point they should just ban women. Ship their women to places outside their border and live out their dumbass male fantasy. Fuck em, let them and their dumbass ideas die out in a generation >
  
  Unfortunately, this is what enough Afghanis were willing to force their countrymen and women to endure. We can look on and see the barbarity, but at the end of the day: the desire for change must come from within. Just like Iran or North Korea, all we can do is spread news of the peoples’ plight in hope they themselves will rise up to throw off the shackles of their oppressors. >
  
  Just evacuate all their women asap. Leave all the dumbfuck patriarchy obsessed men to die out by themselves >
  
  Remember when idiots on Reddit said the taliban was different now and wanted to be “a respected part of the world”? Going great so far👍 >
  
  I keep seeing people posting this, but I must have been in the wrong groups — I’ve never seen anyone say “The Taliban is different now” or otherwise imply they are better or would behave better. >
  
  Go see all the articles in August of last year when they took over. They were definitely around. >
  
  Then link to one >
  
  The women now need to ban men jizzing >
  
  Where are you ladies that believe in Sharia law >
  
  If they were punishing women for Premarital relations (a major sin in Islam) you could blame it on Sharia. 
  But I don't see how stopping aid workers from helping poor and malnourished children has any basis in Islamic law. >
  
  The actions of the taliban are abhorrent,  and are based on a total insecurity of the males. >
  
  Look at the bright side...if enough women leave, the entire country will be a sausage fest, and the Taliban will likely rethink it's position on banning homosexuality. >
  
  I remember when Afghanistan fell, all the people of a more “open mindset” then myself saying: how wonderful this would be, they will finally have self rule / it’s their culture / no evil imperialism. Those same people are now crying to me: how could this have happened.
  I wish people studied history :( >
  
  Yo good luck over there. Hopefully people rise up to remove these vile excuses for humans like they should have done from the start.
  But sadly I reckon it'll just continue to devolve over there. >
  
  Fuck, poor women and children. >
  
  Thank god for that conma >
  
  How is this a surprise? >
  
  Gotta try to get as many women and children out of the country as possible. >
  
  Who is surprised about this? >
  
  This is awful. Feel so sorry for these women. They should refuse to have anything to do with the men. >
  
  Must suck for the woman who had relative freedom for many years under USA and now it’s just yanked away. That’s freaking a reality check hard >
  
  I hope all their men slept awake cuz those women will slit their throats. >
  
  This is the country that needs Starlink terminals more than anyone. >
  
  So all ngo aid groups will pull out of Afghanistan. How will this help the country? >
  
  Most NGO groups, or at least those that value women’s rights and will not cave to Taliban demands on their staff.
  And the short answer, it won’t help. More innocent afghans are going to die. Healthcare, aid, and services will further be curtailed…. But hey, the Taliban get to have their boys club again.
  Really one of the few remaining avenues is support the integration of refugees that are able to make it out. >
  
  Meanwhile the Resistance ran out of ammo and lost a commander and 20+ guys the other day. No international support. >
  
  If we couldn't turn this backwards shithole around and help them become civilised after 20 years and a trillion dollars they will never become civilised.
  Best just to restrict travel/immigration from the region and leave them to their own devices.
  If they attack us again just bomb their headquarters from the sky and move on. >
  
  Whenever super woke kids denigrate my service in Afghanistan I remind them about things like this that the Taliban do. >
  
  Thanks AGAIN, Trump.  🙄 >
  
  Brozzers but we have to respect their culture and values, their country their values. >
  
  Respect slavery? >
  
  Maybe you don’t get the sarcasm >
  
  It's time we send in our femenists. They'll bombard them with gender pronouns and dazzle them with their short colorfull hair and hairy legs.
  Taliban won't stand a chance.
