If they keep this up the Taliban might end up banning women from Afghanistan, forcing them to leave.
Nah. They need their skivvies. There’s no way they’ll get other men to do those things for them, and they’ll be damned if they’ll do it themselves.
A self-correcting problem. Give or take an Afghan’s male average lifetime.
I’d call it Stone Age, but I imagine Stone Age men had a more sensible take on the genders.
This is the best summary I could come up with:
Thousands of people visit Band-e-Amir national park each year, taking in its stunning landscape of sapphire-blue lakes and towering cliffs in the country’s central Bamiyan province.
The ban was announced after the acting minister of vice and virtue complained that women visiting the park had not been adhering to the proper way of wearing the hijab.
Human Rights Watch (HRW) described the ban as the latest in a growing list of restrictions imposed on Afghan women.
Since the Taliban returned to power in 2021, authorities have closed most girls’ secondary schools, barred women from university and stopped many female Afghan aid staff from working.
“Can someone please explain why this restriction on women visiting Band-e-Amir is necessary to comply with sharia and Afghan culture?” Richard Bennett wrote on social media.
The Taliban have long held thatthey respects women’s rights in accordance with the group’s interpretation of Islamic law and Afghan customs.
The original article contains 447 words, the summary contains 151 words. Saved 66%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
I thought the whole country is a national park. And why are they wearing cowboy hats?
Going to assume Americans left them behind.
Probably because it’s sunny and hats serve a function. The styles might’ve changed but wide brimmed hats aren’t exactly native to America or even Europe for that matter.
Never forget who signed the deal to give the country back to Taliban.
Afghanistan was such a sad fuckup.
W invades them for Bin Laden, if we had put all our focus on the country maaaybe it would be better today… But of course W had to go oil hunting in Iraq splitting our resources.
Obama did nothing productive except drone people to death and allow warlords to take parts of the country because everyone was sick of losing soldiers for that hunk of land.
Trump comes in and of course knows nothing about nothing and orders a hasty withdrawal, that is then poorly executed by Biden.
Add to all of that, that the Afghan people simply do not feel a kinship to each other and democratic instincts do not exist due to the heavy influence of Islam, which retards the minds of already poorly educated people.
It all sucks from top to bottom and I feel awful for the women and children there that have to live now in that Islamofascist shithole.
Yea. But only one of them signed a capitulation/surrender to Taliban. I still do not get what Biden was supposed to do given the terms of Trump’s capitulation (“cease fire”).
It just stinks of W signing the order that we withdraw from Iraq and then everyone pisses on Obama for abiding by the agreement W wrote and signed.
Don’t forget that before the U.S. got involved, Russia has soldiers in Afghanistan for a decade. Just a messy situation.
Absolutely. And let’s not also forget who the US was funding and supplying arms to during that time. You guessed it, Bin Laden and his freedom fighters…
Just fuckup after fuckup
Interesting how you’ve kept Trump entirely out of your story. Sadly warlords weren’t a new thing in Afghanistan and more of the norm.

I remember I was on my way on the country road to San Fiero and I remember listening to this song on the radio:
One step forward and two steps back, nobody gets too far like that.
