Taliban ban windows to stop women being seen inside homes
The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.

Summary
The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over "obscene acts."
This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group's systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.
The Taliban's policies have included bans on women's education, public appearances, and voices.
Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.
They're called the Taliban, not the Taliallow
Fuck it, have the upvote
To stop women from being able to see out. Isolation is torture. One less escape route.
This shit is terrifying.
Jesus fucking Christ. I hadn't considered that.
The Talibans are soo gay they don't even want to know about the existence of women.
Why don't they just blind all the men who can't control themselves?
They should probably just ban women outright until they learn how to live beside women responsibly
I REALLY want to find an arab woman who's lived under taliban rule, but also speaks english. I really want to ask her a hypothetical question.
I live in America. I see naked women quite frequently. I live in a society where I've literally gone in public, and seen women wearing a thong bikini, basically made of dental floss, and no top.
The logic of the taliban is that women cannot reveal their bodies to men, or it will FORCE the men to abuse and rape the women. I have frequently been in the presense of naked and near naked women. I am a man. I have never beat or raped a woman.
So I want to ask a woman who's had experience first hand living with the taliban.
Would you feel safer living naked with me everyday? Or fully clothed everyday with the taliban?
Great idea .... just get them to export all the women, then when they want children, ship their semen over, artificially inseminate the women, keep female children, send male children after a few years old to live in Afghanistan with their all male family. Just ban women completely from the country.
There’s an Anime that did gender segregation in a similar way (and for similarly chauvinistic reasons), but on a planetary scale - Vandread.
Until? That's criminally generous.
Linux users in Afghanistan:
Taliban bringing the year of the Linux desktop closer wasn't on my bingo card.
Jokes, but I'm surprised how these misogynistic shitheads can reproduce with how they are afraid of women.
They re not afraid of using women as domestic appliances for reproduction and housekeeping, because they are objects, property. They have problems with other men eyeing their property.
year of the Linux desktop
I saw the headline and was like, "well the Lemmy crowd would love this". One half loves authoritarian regimes, the other half hates windows.
The answer is rape
Weak men bring sick times.
A lot of these stories are thinly sourced and heavily embellished. Any time you read "Enemy county on other side of world does extremely bizarre thing to entire population" headline, take it with an enormous grain of salt.
American tabloid media loves to lie, in order to help justify past and future military conflicts and to stir up hostility against foreign populations.
It's the same hysterical bullshit we saw in the US, with Trump insisting Haitian immigrants were eating dogs and cats.
Are you suggesting they are manufacturing consent? In my American media?
Really glad that they solved so many problems that peeping toms are now the biggest problem in the country. That's what's happening here, right?
Seriously, what is the point of trying to control women this way? Or really in any matter? I've never understood it. Are people really that scared and threatened by women? What is the end game for people who do things like this?
Reminds me if that weird movie the film professor made us watch. Where the guy see the girls ankle because if the wind and then chases her down to rape her. I don't understand wtf this was for but I strongly suggest porn to desensitize if this is the alternative.
They all have Android-Smartphones and access to Porn. What does Windows have to do with it?
/s
I was also confused about what Microsoft has to do with women being seen in their homes 🤣
Fry them all.
Okay my first thought this is Microsoft Windows, and was very confused how people can be seen though a OS. And I later convinced myself maybe this is about Zoom calls.
I thought they see it as a spyware
I mean, they are not entirely wrong...
Ha
Are they going to ban women breathing next?
I think their point is to kill al women so they have reason to be openly gay or just fuck goats.
What “obscene acts” are they referring to? Are they afraid someone might see a woman reading a book?
They are afraid a man seeing a woman will cause him to rape her.
That’s probably what they’re thinking. (And they should totally lock those men up…)
But I’m thinking the real problem is that they were sending messages through the windows and they can’t have that.
THE HORROR!!!
I always think about how they think this will work in the longterm. If you completely ban woman from all places and want to cover their existence you will create an environment where you simply kill your country by lowering the birthrates. When there are no places to date this will affect the birthrates in a way that, in the longterm, you will not be able to support your country because there aren't enough people to support everything.
They forcefully marry the daughters and they get raped when that marriage happens. So Idk if birth rates will go down
Hate to say it, but that devinetively seems like an option.
Oh don't worry that's just the multipolar world kicking in
You mean 2 decades of occupation murder and bombing didn't make them more liberal? Who'd've thought
Is that the new dance craze? A little Charleston, some Stanky Leg, and a conga line finale can-can, we have the Taliban Ban?
Come Mr taliban, taliban bananas
