"SNIP...........

“Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers are cracking down on the sound of women’s voices in public, under a strict new set of vice and virtue laws under the Islamist regime,” CNN reports.

“Women are also obliged to cover themselves in front of non-Muslim males and females to avoid being corrupted. A woman’s voice is deemed intimate and so should not be heard singing, reciting, or reading aloud in public. It is forbidden for women to look at men they are not related to by blood or marriage and vice versa.”

1. Looks like Project 2025 got to Afghanistan first.

[applegrove]

3. Oh SNAP!

[sheshe2]

5. ☝️☝️This☝️☝️

[Hekate]

2. Slavery of half the population

[Alpeduez21]

4. There are some seriously fucked up interpretations of religious doctrine in this world. n/t

[tanyev]

6. Afghanistan before.

7. Big strong men terrified of a woman's voice.

Afraid they will be tempted and lose control of themselves.

These are cowards and weaklings who blame it all on women.

[orange jar]

8. Yep.

These men can't control their compulsive desires to force themselves on women, so they force women to conceal themselves so men can shift the blame on women being "immodest" rather than their own disgusting views for the violence they enact on women.

[Irish_Dem]

11. These men are out of control, love sexual violence, and blame it on the women.

They cannot act like adults, nor can they take responsibility.

It is the men who need to be locked up.

[Dave Bowman]

17. Well said.

[rubbersole]

20. They probably read Mike Pence's book.

[SheltieLover]

9. Sounds like rethug dream

[Diamond_Dog]

16. I think Rethugs would

order all women under 40 wear hot pants and tank tops.

Over 40 wear burlap sacks and veils and forbidden to speak.

[SheltieLover]

18. Sounds like them

[Dear_Prudence]

10. It starts with ridiculing a woman's laugh. nt

[Irish_Dem]

12. Bullies hate it when others are happy.

They are sadists and want everyone miserable.

[Eugene]

13. Step by step, this "new" Taliban regime is becoming the original Taliban regime.

Executions in public stadiums came back in February and public stoning March.
Earlier this week, a purge of beardless men from the security services.
The mask of moderation is coming off, but just gradually.

[brush]

14. The taliban's attitude towards haven't progressed from their prehistoric caves.

They'd fit right into trump's rethug party.

[malaise]

15. Some serious crazy shit this

Rec

[Sky Jewels]

19. Religion is a cancer on the planet.

[Delphinus]

26. That reminds

me of the last tenet of the Georgia Guidestones - "Be not a cancer upon the earth; leave room for nature. Leave room for nature."

[Sky Jewels]

33. Nature revering religions are the only ones that make any sense to me.

[Mr. Evil]

21. I really hate religion.

It isn't about personal salvation (whatever the fuck that actually is) or a statement of faith (why that's even necessary) or necessary for human existence (it isn't). It's a fucking weapon (that's all it's ever been).

[BlueSky3]

22. How can we stand by

and let this happen? Is there no international organization like the UN which is willing to help these women?

[thebigidea]

32. Maybe Mexico can invade them, install a puppet government, and empower the RIGHT set of opium warlords

[Timeflyer]

23. This degree of hateful coercive misogyny in the name of religion leaves me without words--for now.

[tornado34jh]

24. This just proves why being in a theocracy, no matter what religion it is, isn't a good thing

If you have to put all these things together just to please your deity while also forcing it on others, that shows you have a weak mind. Organized religion is the worst at it. I know a few friends who do some off-the beaten path religions, but they don't force it on others.

[Delphinus]

25. OMG!

I came thinking it was going to be an Onion story - this is shit!

[LoisB]

27. So did I.

[Warpy]

28. How soon will they herd women into barns with the other breeding stock?

I know I'd grab girl children and start walking. Being shot on the way is better than living under the rule of those assholes.

[Efilroft Sul]

29. At this rate, the Taliban will ban noise from the goats they rail because it sounds like the goats are laughing at them.

[BattleRow]

36. Well,I thought the goats

we're substituted FOR women.

[The Unmitigated Gall]

30. Taliban men are weaklings. nt

[keithbvadu2]

31. We have Christian women (and men) in America who would go along with that.

Some women believe the man should vote for the family.

7. If Abby Johnson really thought women should let men speak for them, she would simply shut up
and let some man speak for her.

And it's not just Christians and Muslims. Many religions throughout the world.

JD Vance would reduce rights of women who do not give birth.

He seems more inclined to reduce the rights of those women but not so much for men who are not fathers.

[Evolve Dammit]

34. Religious extremism and nationalism are really fing "human rights" if there is such a thing

[barbtries]

35. this sickens me.

bad enough that republicans in the US want to take women back to the 19th or 20th century, these disgusting men want to force them back into the cave.

fuck the patriarchy

women are human people

[Volaris]

37. Is there a link to some taliban govt facebook page where i can post some Hysterical Literature clips?

Fuck these clowns. (And for anyone who doesn't know, just Google it but it's prolly NSFW.)
