I'm not going to stop caring about women because Afghanistan has solar panels. To me that's absurd.
To me it is absurd that western countries don't care for their own people but pretend to care about people half way across the world. It is all a scam to sell wars to the people and you fell for it. If you want Afghanistan to develop and progress leave it alone. You tried establishing a puppet state and it collapsed immediately, count your losses and move on.
Why do you assume I don't care for my own people?
I'm sorry but I just find it hard to not care about the despicable treatment of women there. It's messed up. Me not caring about the women there is not going to benefit them.
I tried?
The degrading conditions and quality of life in most western countries suggest that the people don't care.
If your care is sincere there are ways to help other than building up a narrative for sanctions or invasions. There was a point in time when Saudi Arabia was rural and conservative, with time it has developed, and now females outperform males in academic achievement. For another example, look at nearby Iran which has an urban and educated population.
Do you know anything about material and socioeconomic conditions? Afghanistan haven't had a moment of political stability, and was never given a chance.
Western states are democracies aren't they? Their actions reflect the will of the people. Though you may be from the countries that didn't join the US-led invasion.
