ReviewThe Power - Amazon Prime
Posted May 12, 2023 by 17throwaways17 in Television

I just sobbed watching this show. The female rage, the woman power. It's so fucking real.

The way the men react to the power. I am shook. I love this show.

I read an important point once. Their veils prevent them from seeing each other. The veils prevent human interaction. It prevents acknowledgement. It prevents being seen. Eye to eye contact is missing. From a mental standpoint this is huge. Its not natural and should be considered grossly inhumane. I can't imagine anyone but my rapist husband enslaver ever looking me in the eyes ever again. Women talking to each other is the only support they have. To take it away is beyond criminal. They are doing this to break their souls.

LasagnaRossaOctober 27, 2024

And whenever people observe that, the advocates of veil run to say that "the purpose is to be left alone, so that no one will rape you!! This is a feminist garment!!"

Of course, feminism is when women center their lives around men's behavior. 🙄

norman_bates👁October 29, 2024

Feminism is when women live in terror and mortal danger all the time 😊

hard_headed_womanOctober 28, 2024

How do you recognize one another on the street? No neighborliness, no friendliness, just black ghosts walking around.

SmellerbeeOctober 28, 2024

They would kill all women if they could find some way to reproduce without us.

pennygadgetOctober 28, 2024

Nah. Than who would they get off on oppressing? Little boys can eventually grow up and fight back

rkinOctober 28, 2024

I mean, they culturally molest little boys who grow up and don't fight back - they take their rightful place in molesting other little boys. Bacha Bazi and all.

LillithOctober 28, 2024

I agree, plus who would change the baby boy's diapers and wake up for 2am feedings, fix the sandwiches, make dental appts,etc. Not to mention physical pleasure.

Any Afghan woman or girl should be granted automatic amnesty in any Western country. Any Afghan man who shows up in a Western country should not be granted amnesty unless he is escorting as many women and girls as he possibly could have.

nomenarewomenOctober 27, 2024

exactly. I have zero problem with our country sheltering abused Afghan women. I have a big problem with our country paying the hotel bills of young Muslim illegal immigrant men.

DerpinaOctober 27, 2024

This exactly

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Seriously, why am I always seeing migrant camps full of men! Often times young able bodied ones! Stay and change your country you pricks, it's literally your heinous hatred for women that have done this.

Save the women and girls, that's who the victims are. That's who these groups target.

[Deleted]October 27, 2024

If a young, single, able-bodied migrant man isn't showing up with an old woman on his back and a baby in his arms he needs to be sent right back.

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024

Literally! Go back and fight for your country. All this bullshit religious pride but they only fight when it comes down to dominating women and destroying others. God forbid they stand for their own ground. Cowardly shits.

LunarWolfOctober 28, 2024

BuT MeN aRe PrOTecToRs!!!!

Unicornkindrad.orgOctober 27, 2024

It's kind of happening.

An Afghan woman's gender and nationality can suffice as proof of persecution to receive asylum status, the European Court of Justice has said.

The European Court of Justice (ECJ), the highest court in the EU, ruled on Friday that women in Afghanistan are subjected to persecution by the Taliban.

The ECJ also ruled that authorities in EU member states do not need to establish whether Afghan women will be subjected to persecution if they return home, on an individual basis. Instead, the court said that "it is sufficient to take into account her nationality and gender alone."

EU top court rules Afghan women are a persecuted group, shared by scndskin on clovenhooves.

[Deleted]October 27, 2024

And I wish that were happening. The reality is that almost all Afghans showing up in Europe are young single men. Which says a lot about the priorities of Afghan men.

pennygadgetOctober 27, 2024

Yep. Cowardly Afghan men are going to Europe to leech off the welfare system and leaving their female relatives to rot in a misogynistic hellhole

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024

Exactly this, and they proceed to bring their bullshit into these countries and ruin them. The women there fave unprecedented harassment and assault with every influx of these men.

BeachBleachOctober 28, 2024

JKR got around a hundred women safely out of Afghanistan when it fell and to Britain. There may have been others, but I have not read about them. Mavis Leno had an organization to help women in Afghanistan, some years ago.

bellaZOctober 27, 2024

Women with private planes and/or lots of money need to work to evacuate women from this hellhole. Rescue them!

[Deleted]October 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Write to: Oprah, Ellen, Michelle, Beyoncé, Taylor, Hilary, I mean dammit Kamala god help us Meghan Markle lol.

See if any of these feminist sisters do f all.

Muslim men are equal to TIMs on the oppression pyramid and that is way higher than any disgusting womb wagons.

pennygadgetOctober 28, 2024

They won't because, aside from Ellen, all those women care about are getting head pats from fellow SJWs. You don't get Cool Girl points for acknowledging Islamic misogyny and trying to do something about it

memyselfandi31yrsOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Bad things happen to women and girls when men have absolute control. There are women who are committing suicide in Afghanistan, because they know the hell they would have to endure under the Taliban. They know they will be used as breeding and personal slaves to hateful, abusive men. It's literally better to be dead than be a woman in some countries. Think about the countries which practice FGM, etc

CharliXXOctober 27, 2024

Hope they take as many men with them as they can. God.

HollyhockOctober 27, 2024

That is almost never a woman's MO in suicide. Some take their own children with them, but almost never adult men.

tabbycatcircusOctober 28, 2024

sometimes I hate how we aren't as violent as men. Fuck this. We can't even embody the "mama bear" anger and rage properly. Fuck it all.

OneStarWolfOctober 27, 2024

Treating women worse than slaves. Fuck these men.

It’s upsetting how much of the world turns a blind eye to women and girls suffering in Afghanistan. The west is so rich in their privileges that people here even pretend to not know what a woman actually is anymore. What an insult to those poor women.

LasagnaRossaOctober 27, 2024

Also, we are so privileged that some people really believe that these women voluntary choose to wear the veil. "Just like Christian nuns, duhhh!!"

They already forbade women from speaking to men, so I guess the end goal is to cut women's tongues out altogether.

But in ten years they'll complain that the new generation of boys cannot speak their own mothertongue fluently.

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024

Is anyone getting the vibe that is extremely desperate of them. They thought they could always in and control these women through guns alone when they saw they'd defy them at every turn they just do something else that's extreme. But at every point in history we have been shown that oppression is a fine balance, manipulation goes into it a lot, if you take everything away the people will fight back. I know these women are suffering but I see these men become more and more pathetic, their authority being so weak they have to stop the women from speaking lest they plot against them. If only the outside world actually fucking did something because the situation is ripe for arming these women, and providing support.

pennygadgetOctober 27, 2024

I wouldn't be surprised if that was their next move...

EternaEspiralOctober 28, 2024

And they'll call it a cultural tradition

pennygadgetOctober 28, 2024

And the American SJWs will be like: "Muslim women make the empowering choice to get their tongues cut out! You're racist if you say its wrong!!"

DerpinaOctober 27, 2024

I wonder how many sons they'll have in ten years

TheDirtyYumejoOctober 27, 2024

There is nothing "phobic" about despising islam

Carrots90October 27, 2024

Exactly

Muslims, like Christians, come in all skin colors

We have rightfully limited the stranglehold of the church

Why is fundamental Islam a 
sacred cow

LunarWolfOctober 28, 2024

According to Elica LeBon it's part of a decades long propaganda campaign and strange alliance between Islam and communism meant to destabilize the West. I guess they figure the enemy of the enemy is my friend. And the left has bought right into it.

RNPhalaropeOctober 29, 2024

Interesting. Thanks for sharing that.

SnowWhiteOctober 27, 2024

There isn't, but I'm not only disgusted, I'm also scared.

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024

Yes thank you, for me it's fear because these people have never modernized. Entire countries just torturing women and you want to bring them here? Like we don't have it perfect here, but at least the men stopped stoning us ffs.

CharliXXOctober 28, 2024

Yup.

CharliXXOctober 27, 2024

I'm not someone who demonstrates but if my government invites these assholes for "talks" again I'm going to stand outside holding up a poster. The way the west has tried to reason with these nutcases disgusts me. They need to be shunned and only women refugees fleeing because of gender based discrimination should be accepted.

Spinster_coreOctober 27, 2024

Yes! I can't understand for the life of me why any country accepts male Afghanis as refugees. MAYBE if they're gay, but in general just let the fucking women and children in.

HexOctober 27, 2024

I would say not even if they are gay, since there is no way to determine if they are gay or not. There are already refugees claiming they are "gay" in my country. Oh and they have kids and heterosexual spouses that they are not leaving. Anyone with a brain can see they are scamming, which is why my government lets them in.

Carrots90October 27, 2024

How are they refugees? They are the dominant religion and the dominant sex

Yes, war is terrible, but shall we bring in the whole country?!?

Spinster_coreOctober 30, 2024

Dude fully agree. Like what are you actually fleeing

DBrookeOctober 27, 2024

Claims to be "gay" may have a different meaning in Afghanistan, where the rape of little boys is widely accepted.

LillithOctober 27, 2024

Gay men are still men.

CathyVerattiOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Years ago, I watched Ross Kemp's documentary, "The Fight Against ISIS", during which he was embedded with the Kurdish militias fighting the Islamic State. He spent some time with the Women's Protection Units, but during most of it, he shadowed Abu Layla, commander of the Northern Sun Battalion. At one point, he showed off the eleven bullet wounds he had by then sustained. When Kemp asked him why, after being shot almost a dozen times, he didn't say to himself, "Alright, I've done my bit, I'm going home," Abu Layla responded, "I have four daughters. How can I go home?"

And now Abu Layla is dead. Because he did his duty. Because if you are any kind of father, when the barbarians are coming to enslave your daughters, you don't stop fighting until either they're dead or you are. Otherwise, what is the point of you?

The contrast with the Kurds (and similarly, the Iranians) is what really blackpilled me on Afghan men. They would fight, if they had the will. They don't have the will, because they agree with the Taliban. What a worthless bunch. NATO armed the wrong sex.

GenXerOctober 27, 2024

The world has failed these women

HollyhockOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

A NYTimes journalist still on the ground in Afghanistan right before the withdrawal was interviewing a well-connected and rather educated family who were being given visas to evacuate to the US. The husband of the sister* who arranged the interview kicked his wife during the interview because she said something he was concerned about. He fucking kicked her and it wasn't even in retaliation to her criticizing him nor her hitting him first (obviously not okay for any reason but my point is to show how normalized it was for him to harm her for simply speaking her mind). Her comment was something to do with their strategizing how to leave and he must have disagreed with that particular idea she had and his natural response was violence in front of a NYTimes reporter. Which just shows how they view women, even in circumstances where it would be assumed an abuser might try to hide his violent tendencies. Violence against women is like breathing to them.

I'm grateful the reporter noted this, and because it was a straight up news report (not opinion piece) the reporter didn't provide his own commentary on it, but I wonder if his intent was to show the world the reality of these men's attitudes, even the so-called 'westernized' educated Afghan men.

*There were two couples, two sisters and their husbands. The woman who set up the interview was the sister of the woman whose husband kicked her

SnowWhiteOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

But as soon as they cross the border all this hate towards women apparently disappears and to even suspect otherwise is apparently islamophobic according to the current lib-left!

HollyhockOctober 28, 2024

I'm a liberal on the left, so obviously I don't think that. I know loads of leftists who think like I do.

SnowWhiteOctober 28, 2024

Oh i know the pain as a fellow leftist. That's why i said "the current"

DoubleAntandreOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Who cares? Nobody worth consulting. Western men or progressive men or non-Muslim men or whatever adjective we want to apply to "the good ones"--They do not give a single damn. They give less than a rosy rodent's rectum.

If the male majority of any population were being oppressed like this anywhere on planet Earth, "civilized men" would be starting wars over it. They simply don't care.

Artemis_LivesđŸčOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

All this has been a great window into misogynist male psychology and the tactics men use to disenfranchise women.

ReliquiaOctober 27, 2024

Absolutely disgusting. They don't see women as human. I hope things get better to every single woman affected by the Taliban 💔

DBrookeOctober 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Oh, but they do see us as human. Nobody forbids animals to make noises. They fear our words, because they fear our minds.

ItzpapalotlOctober 27, 2024

This comment made my eyes water a little bit. They hurt us because they are afraid of us. All they have over us is their brute strength. They lack female courage, kindness, solidarity and intellect.

Carrots90October 27, 2024

I think the men overplayed their power hand. the men are so cruel to their women, they aren’t able to use the guilt, NAMALT, etc that men in the west use to make us fight other women for the em

ActualTomboyOctober 27, 2024

They demonize us to excuse their abuse.

JernsaxaOctober 27, 2024

Just when you thought they couldn't hate women more... This is horrifying, as is all they have done.

AltheaOctober 27, 2024

What are they going to do next? Ban women from blinking?

NoNameOctober 27, 2024

Could be. They are criminalizing women’s humanity and womanhood itself. Doesn’t matter if a woman didn’t break the law and speak. If a Taliban male lies and said she did, she’s a criminal and he is believed

LillithOctober 27, 2024

You might be on to something. If the women develop sign then, that will be curtailed. Also morse code, musical instruments, writing painting etc.

lostinthesaucepanOctober 27, 2024

Also morse code, musical instruments, writing painting etc.

Pretty sure they already hamstrung all of those

SnowWhiteOctober 27, 2024

Men know we are strongest together, they're trying same trick in the west, just using TiM for it.

AmareldysOctober 27, 2024

Unless I read the article wrong the title is misleading
 women cannot pray out loud in front of other women. I don’t think all conversation is banned.

girl_undoneOctober 27, 2024

It’s really unclear. The article seems to clarify that it’s prayer but then

“How are women who are the sole providers for their families supposed to buy bread, seek medical care, or simply exist if even their voices are forbidden?” said a women’s rights activist. “These orders immobilize women and have made life exhausting for all of us.”

ToNorthOctober 27, 2024

They probably aren't allowed to be together without male supervision either, which creates its own barrier to speaking.

hard_headed_womanOctober 28, 2024

Praying together was practically the only acceptable reason left to gather together as women, so when they stop women from gathering, they stop women from speaking.

Carrots90October 27, 2024(Edited October 27, 2024)

Guaranteed they will restrict everything women do in public, but magically except the amount of movement needed to run family errands
because men can’t be bothered to do the shopping

Plus everyone knows men can’t be trusted with the money. Women will get things for the family, men will go find illicit activities

[Deleted]October 27, 2024

agreed.

Side note: there was a post about the UN using effed up language about women and I responded that we should write them. I think I even posted my email to them (signed it "Dr...." for more authority) and then someone here took credit for this and ran with it. I was like...um, what? It changed their language, which was the aim, but I was still a bit peeved that I someone else gloated about this as their accomplishment. dumb, I know.

memyselfandi31yrsOctober 27, 2024

I feel that what the taliban is doing is trying to crush the hope, happiness and humanity of the women and girls in Afghanistan. Truly sickening. Misogyny is so vile and ugly.

So just like the West when they try to keep women from talking to each other at "Let Women Speak" rallies. Just goes to show that both sides hate women.
