  1. Life as a woman in Taliban-ruled [Afghanistan](https://globalnews.ca/tag/afghanistan) just got even more restrictive as a government ministry enacts new laws on “vice and virtue” in the country, banning women’s voices and uncovered faces from public life.

    The laws were issued Wednesday by the ministry for the “propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice,” which was established in 2021 after the [Taliban](https://globalnews.ca/tag/taliban) seized control of Afghanistan.

    It’s astonishing to me that even Saudi Arabia has become more progressive than Afghanistan. I wish that the Saudis could use their leverage and influence to steer Afghanistan in a better direction.

    The good news is that they’ll never have any economic development of any kind and are submitting themselves to the dustbin of history. The bad news is there’s a lot of people outside/under their rule who don’t want that.

    Waiting for people who keep asking for Sharia law in secular countries to move to Afghanistan

  5. If your religion seeks to hide women because of male ‘temptation,’ you have a male problem, not a woman problem.

  6. Remember, everyone… this is the government the people of Afghanistan wanted.

    They had a corrupt, but Western, government with a professional military. And that military could have easily fought off the Taliban if the people of Afghanistan supported that.

    But the Taliban took over easily and without much bloodshed.

    So when you read stories like this… it’s not just the Taliban wanting this. 

    It’s what AFGHANIS, in general, want.

    This is what the average Afghan man wants, is they didn’t the Taliban wouldn’t have been able to operate shadow governments in the countryside while we were still there

    So women can no longer literally speak in public? What are they supposed to do, sign language themselves for the rest of their life?! What kind of existence is that?

    It’s a shame the Afghanis just allowed themselves to be subjugated again without even putting up a fight

    The streets are rumbling with the marches of protesters calling to free the women of Afghanistan… /s

    Why don’t they just admit they fancy men. Want to be surrounded by and only see men, don’t want to see or hear women and have an objective hate of women to even exist. They only want them to breed more men into the world.

    Oh my GOD I can see some of their HANDS! Filthy women! Cover yourselves!

    What a terrible place to be.

  14. A chilling reminder that in some places, “virtue” means silencing half the population and erasing them from view.

    See these kind of guys…you can definitely create a democracy there…

    I remember when they invaded- women were at school and University and had freedom. Thousands fled and predicted exactly this but the Taliban reassured them they could still study and have a life.

    Heartbreaking

    Man the Taliban love their sausage parties don’t they? Prehistoric, simple minded super dorks. I weigh 210 lbs and I would look like the Hulk next to these scrawny women haters, they need to see the rest of the world in order to see how primitive their culture has become.

    Afghanistan is the last frontier. In a hundred years they won’t be different, they’ll be viewed the same as we viewed the cannibalistic tribes of New Guinea or the Amazon. It’s one of the last remaining uncivilized tribe of the old world.

  19. Good move, Taliban! When you all go Sinwar, no one can see your face or hear your voice. obv /s

  20. Islam is absolutely the worst religion and ideology. No matter what people tell you, they are not peace loving and tolerant. They are totally intolerant of anyone not part of their religion and also suppress women, gays and anyone who doesn’t conform to their narrow world view. The world would be a better place without islam.

    Better idea- remove these men’s eyes or make them wear blinders and castrate them. Problem solved.
