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.
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.
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.
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
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.
The Talibans are soo gay they don’t even want to know about the existence of women.
LOL, how about just move back to caves
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.
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?
Why don’t they just blind all the men who can’t control themselves?
How backwards and idiotic a religion can become.
They’re called the Taliban, not the Taliallow
Fuck it, have the upvote
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?
People in Afghanistan aren’t Arabs; they’re Afghans. They notably don’t speak Arabic.
:O
My mistake. I legit thought they did.
Soooooooo, what do they speak?
from a quick glance at Wikipedia, the official languages are Dari and Pashto, spoken by 75% and 48% of the population respectively, but many other languages are also spoken
Arabic is only spoken by 1% of the Afghani population, which is less than English (6%)
You mean 2 decades of occupation murder and bombing didn’t make them more liberal? Who’d’ve thought
Buddy, these cretins aren’t ever going to be anything even close to center… regardless of what the usa does
these cretins
Racism makes everything so simple doesn’t it
