Taliban bans women from ‘hearing other women’s voices’
Taliban bans women from ‘hearing other women’s voices’
Militant group is ‘waging an all-out war against us’, says one Kabul resident in response to the bizarre rule
In a rambling voice message on Monday, the country’s minister for the promotion of virtue and prevention of vice announced the bizarre new restriction on women’s behaviour.
Oh my fucking god, I HATE religion.
Fix your ears sister
Wait, isn't this a joke/funny comment? Did it really need a /s?
Why the massive downvotes?
These Taliban sound like some real jerks.
Now I'm not the most up to date on politics and the like, so what I am about to say might be pretty controversial, but I'm sorta thinking I agree with you.
Well they ain't called the talifreedom
TaliBAN'd:
- joy
- happiness
- good things
This smells more like a country run by incels rather than religion
A religion that says when you die you get 72 virgins is founded on treating women like property.
Username checks out. Still a dumb take that I would expect somewhere in atheistmemes not in a serious community talking about the gender apartheid that a hardcore religious conservative group has imposed. And now it will confuse you that I’m also criticizing them, because who wouldn’t criticize the fucking Taliban, but I’m so tired of this low quality „religion bad“ content when the actual problem is REALLY shitty people.
Remember the Soviets, remember the Nazis, remember Mao? Those guys hated religion and have caused the deaths of literally hundreds of millions. So you wanna criticize religion, go ahead, but please for the sake of the whole community do it like an adult, not like a 14 year old in atheistmemes.
*corporate wants you to find the difference between these two
ISLAM!
Christianity too! Women in the Bible are property.
I was listening my local radio station and they had a story about how women were banned from speaking in public. One of the guest speakers (mostly, women from Afghanistan) gave a history of how it became like this.
There were freedom fighters, or Mujahideen, which were trained in jihad against the Soviets. And part of that indoctrination involved physical separation between males and females, including family members, of the boys and men that later became the Taliban. And part of that indoctrination involved the mullahs, or teachers in those seminaries, teaching or indoctrinating the students, all males, that females are the source of temptation to sinful acts.
There's more to it in the story / transcript, but that was the basic premise.
What else is religion for?
Religion: Reminding people how stupid Humanity can be.
At what point do we treat this as the hostage situation it really is and do something about it?
Anything shy of eliminating all the conservatives in the region will result in this continuing. This is the natural result of unchecked conservatism. It has metastasized there.
Oh hey they were just at madison square garden I think.
No, that was y'all qaeda
Conservatism is social cancer. It is the single biggest threat to life on earth.
A lot of people want to point at religion but these are conservative sentiments. The Taliban was only popular due to it's anti-imperialism fighting foreign invaders like the Soviets and US. Now that the people of Afghanistan can turn to internal politics, the can fight to end or reform the Taliban's oppressive rule. The Taliban is sowing the seeds of their own demise via popular revolution
The problem is, they've actually successfully reduced corruption from the unjust kleptocracy the US installed. Shits pretty bad when the fucking taliban can come along and create a less corrupt government.
A tragedy. And too many men I guess are just going along with it.
Religion is a monstrous evil. Especially the Abrahamic cults.
Bizarre and unique, the Abrahamics' specific (yet general enough) characteristics. And evergreen! See only the Mormon church, a recent cult, for example - unbelievably successful. Invented out of whole cloth within the last 200 years. Tax exempt and owns ~4% of the land in the US today, to say nothing of their business interests (cuz it's even harder to know).
They venerate Jesus.
That's so fucking weird.
"Because some of us have not learned personal space, women may not be seen, heard, or spoken of, even by other women. 'Cause they're scary 🥺"
They turn into Moclans if they continue.
Looks like it's time for sign language to rise. Are the Taliban going to say that women can't move their hands? (How will they serve their
mastersmen otherwise?)Sigh.
Guess they can’t listen to the Taliban then, because they seem like a bunch of little bitches.
Fuck the Taliban really fucking hard. That's all I want to say right now.
It's like the dark ages are still strong in other parts of the world. Makes me sad to think about how a vast amount of Americans don't value US democracy at all.
Surprised the MAGA crowd don’t invite these guys to talk at dinners more tbh. They’re so ahead of the curve.
Wheres the fun in life if you cant talk to women (especially as a women) :3
In Conserva-stan, fun is banned.
