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 can’t be seen, can’t speak, women’s voices cannot be heard (even by other women), and now they can’t have windows.

    At this point, if they have such a problem, leave the men inside in a windowless box and let women do the work. It’s men getting a half chub because they heard of someone thinking of a woman. Their obsession with women is so fucking weird. It’s like they’re the boogy man or some shit.

      Gun control is sexist. Women deserve the ability to defend themselves from those larger and stronger then them.

      Pederastry still happens in Afghanistan it’s called Bacha bāzi. They drug up a teenage boy and dress the boy up in women’s clothes. The boy has to dance in front of older men and then they rape the boy. They are gay pedophiles. This practice dates back to when that area was conquered by Alexander the Great.

    Soooooo, instead of educating young boys and men about respect and decency, they instead force women to cover themselves completely, and now remove windows from buildings, because young boys and men can’t be trusted to be basic human beings?

    Yeah, you know you’re doing it right when you have to force other people to bend to your degeneracy.

      It’s either that or they justify these repressive laws by saying men are lustful beasts who can never be trusted to contain their impulses. (And therefore those laws are for their “protection.”)

      This is an attitude shared by all of the “girls have cooties” religions.

    Those guys sure love banning things. They’re gonna lose track of all the things they’ve banned, unless they hire someone to tally all their bans.

    Unless of course there’s a ban on that too

    Why do fundies always spend their time on pointless bullshit instead of actually governing

      Keeping the women barefoot and pregnant while doing chores and the kids fighting your feuds is governing for them

    Today, Pakistan, tomorrow, USA. You might be sceptical today, but if you think it really couldn’t happen in America, you haven’t been paying nearly enough attention.

      A authoritarian theocracy seizing control of the government? Sounds serious!

      So when will democrats drop gun control considering this existential threat to the nation state?

        Wild topic change there!

        So when will democrats drop gun control

        Nearly every legislative session, iirc. More permanently, probably when school shootings stop for good.

        Comrade, I too am a member, but the way you shifted topics here is too abrupt to provide meaningful discourse. I like to lean into the “we keep us safe” slogan.

        And to the doubters: yes, target practice, firearm safety training, and mutual aid support DOES make a difference in keeping communities strong, resilient, and safe. No one in the SRA is advocating for active resistance with force to anything or anyone.
