They treat us like cows, says Haniya Frotan

No they don’t. Cows are allowed to moo outdoors.

Every man in that country is a profoundly worthless coward . Every man should be obstructing and running the Taliban out of there. Look at how hard this same culture of men vows to fight and take down the evil western nations. Many vow to martyr themselves for it, but it’s crickets for the Taliban? Worthless.

They’re not fighting because they want this. Even if they did fight and overthrow the Taliban, they would still impose these same limitations on these women. Most of these men are too Muslim to give a damn about women’s rights.

So much for men being protectors. Only of their privilege, not women.

The U.S.-trained and -supplied Afghan army folded like a cheap suit. I guess Afghan men will be ferocious against outsiders but won't even try to protect themselves from other Afghans.

It may be the Taliban making those vows.

This is horrific. Women cannot speak in public or even look at people they are not related to?

I wonder if there has ever been a more misogynistic culture in history.

I wish I knew how to help the women of Afghanistan.

And Iran.

And Pakistan.

And every other woman living in such horrible circumstances.

me too. i want to like adopt an adult woman or offer her asylum/passage to america somehow

I wish I had words to express how utterly sickened I am by men who treat women this way. Like… if I had a magic genie button that could instantly slaughter the entire Taliban along with every male coward who nodded along with their misogynistic bullshit, I would press it in an instant with zero hesitation or remorse and celebrate the world becoming a better place for it (and even that doesn’t feel strong enough to capture my rage at this shit).

No reading aloud, even at home, means they can’t teach their kids to read

VegantinatalistSeptember 1, 2024

so many of them are killing themselves when they should be killing the men/taliban. take them down with you. as many as you can.

I absolutely, 100% agree. If the circumstances are that dire, and they are (no adequate foreign assistance, the UN is worthless on women’s rights), take the men who made it that way with you. If Afghanistan becomes a hub of female domestic terrorists and serial killers, GOOD.

VegantinatalistSeptember 2, 2024

they probably fear their mothers and daughters will be killed in retaliation

I don’t know why you’re being downvoted, I’m sure that’s the reasoning for not turning violent. While I think they should, I have sympathy for that very real fear.

VegantinatalistSeptember 2, 2024

i dont know either. i think i dont really understand the etiquette here or something cause i keep getting downvotes. im not sure if what im saying is too unrelated or if im using words that are implying things im not aware of cause i dont know the culture here. i was previously using sites like reddit where just saying whatever comes to mind about a topic is norm, and people arent typically familiar with a certain specific way of talking about the subjects, and it seems very different here. which is probably good, im just not grasping the rhythm lol. im also a huge pessimist which i think is often misread as defeatism/nihilism to all but others who kinda speak your language

LillithSeptember 2, 2024

Good point. And also women and especially little girls sinply dont have it in them to be wantonly violent. It takes a special woman to do those things, but only an average man.

LillithSeptember 1, 2024

Amen...or should i say Inshallah

Though I doubt women are allowed to own weapons. They doubtless prepare all the food. Surely some antifreeze could be aquired.

VegantinatalistSeptember 1, 2024

oh god i didnt even think of that. their suicides must be so painful. not like they can easily acquire guns or sodium nitrite. probably not even drugs or alcohol.

imagine suicide completely sober with just a fucking rope. jesus

vulvapeopleSeptember 2, 2024(Edited September 2, 2024)

I've gotten the impression that, in small villages where the Taliban doesn't have much reach, it's not that hard to acquire opium.

NoNameSeptember 2, 2024

It's infuriating to see this happen and the rest of the world and organizations like the UN looking the other way and saying "not all men".

VegantinatalistSeptember 1, 2024

i want to say something, bad, but im fucking speechless.

Might you have an archive?
