KABUL, Afghanistan (AP) — Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Tuesday banned female students from attending universities effective immediately in the latest edict cracking down on women’s rights and freedoms.

Despite initially promising a more moderate rule respecting rights for women’s and minorities, the Taliban have widely implemented their strict interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.

They have banned girls from middle school and high school, restricted women from most employment and ordered them to wear head-to-toe clothing in public. Women are also banned from parks and gyms.

The Taliban were ousted in 2001 by a U.S.-led coalition for harboring al-Qaida leader Osama bin Laden and returned to power after America’s chaotic departure last year.

1. The men hate and loathe women.

They treat women like subhumans.

2. They should have not relied on Afghan men...

To protect them and their liberties from the Taliban.

3. Making the hands of time go backwards because men feel threatened if females are somewhat autonomous

Powder puff tough guys worshiping fascistic religious doctrines to enhance their macho men bona fides.

4. More than a few Republicans would love to see this happen in the U.S.

One thing I've noticed about Repugs over the years, is that they hate few groups of people - if any - more than women college students.

If brought up in conversation, their faces start contorting as if they were having a stroke - which, as much as they drink, many RW types probably will.

6. Have the Taliban meet Sarah Palin or Lauren Boebert

THAT should cause them to rethink their decisionj in no time flat.

7. Effin' Pigs! (Not that we don't have em here too!). Apologies to Pigs.

College educated woman here, effers!


Which ever particlar group of dsgusting men there, here where ever all over the world.... Stick it.

Infuriating!

8. Could have done with a better headline. Just where are these "Taliban Bar Women?"

And I thought there were no longer bars in Afghanistan?

14. A poster walks into a bar and says Ouch!

The English language, hardest of them all.

My favorite teacher was a woman. I know most teachers are women. Because it’s a godawful hard job to do.

9. If only the Afghans had the courage of the Ukrainians

They had YEARS more training and better weapons & they still collapsed in no time.

10. FL's Ron DeSatan is likely planning the same here. Barefoot, pregnant and not allowed to speak!

Maybe I'm wrong but...you gotta know he's thinking about it.

11. Don't forget. They have to know how to bake them and just know fractions, like 1/2 cup etc.

12. Can the Republicans be far behind?

n/t

13. +1

Agreed

[EndlessWire]

15. How stupid of them

to cripple their population by excluding women. If I were a young woman living there, I'd be planning my escape. All of this is to dominate women sexually?

Excluding women from learning does not make a man better in bed, because she already knows.

I just think this is awful.

16. They hate the women who bore them and loved them.
