Imagine being so insecure that you need someone to literally hide every aspect of their being so that you don't get aroused and can't control yourself. Fucking weak-willed cowards.
This really sounds more like the men should be kept inside ...
If the sight or sound of a woman triggers their weak little boners, then yes.
What about drones zooming around with sweet women sounds? Is there a gofundme for that somewhere?
These countries must be stopped and everyone liberated. It's worse than life imprisonment.
Taliban men must be the weakest in the world if they can’t even hear a woman’s voice without being shoved into temptation. Do they all just instantly nut when a wrist bone slides out from the veil?! Talk about not having any confidence in themselves.
I understand temptation. You just have to, you know, resist. It’s called being a mature adult, or something along those lines.
They should tie one guy to a pole then blind and deaf the rest of themselves.
They're no different from men anywhere else. It's only a justification for control.
Their thinking is so backwards and cognitively dissonant it is maddening. I wish the women could successfully rise up and overthrow these shitstain people that call themselves “men.”
Unfortunately quite a few of the women support it. The truth is there were enough supporters of democracy and sharia to make either work. The elite prefer sharia though because it offers more control and aligns with tribal structures better.
“This document not only violates Afghanistan’s domestic laws but also broadly contravenes all 30 articles of the Universal Declaration of Human Rights.”
They didn't think it could be done, but I knew I could do it. All 30 articles in one law!
— A Taliban, probably
Arab Republicans
Conservatives, of any religion or ethnicity.
Afghan are not arab.
True, but the Taliban religion is Arab.
Their religion is Islam, which has no race or ethnicity. There's more Indian, Pakistani, and Indonesian Muslims than anywhere else.
You would think since it's the men that can't control themselves (per these assanine laws anyway), that they would have to stayed locked away somewhere. The women seem to be able to function just fine.
Wow I can't believe these Taliban folks are so misogynistic. I for one am totally blindsided by this.
"Taliban". That rings a bell for some reason. I swear I've heard it before!
And they want tourists!

Trust us, we won't chop your head off this time!
You know, when I read The Handmaid's Tale back in high school, I didn't think the ending made any sense. How do you have tourists just walking around taking pictures when there's horrible human rights violations happening in plain sight?
I think I get it now.
Honestly the accounts of the woman who visited almost bother me more than the men. Even as a tourist she wasn't allowed to do certain things, but she can just leave whenever she wants. Wonder how her friends among the locals feel about that.
good thing i have two heads
Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. It always has been.
Funny how Christian conservatives in the west still insist they share nothing in common with Muslim fundamentalists...
Please don't link MBFC. It is itself biased and inconsistent.
For example the Guardian has the same credibility rating as Breitbart. With far fewer failed fact checks.
You're wrong. Request denied!
Have a good one though.
They're not agreeing that The Guardian and Breitbart are on a level. They're complaining that MBFC ranks them the same when Breitbart is clearly a much more biased and less reliable source.
They're wrong that they rate the Guardian and Breitbart the same. First of all, they don't have the same credibility rating. You also have to ignore the reports to reach that conclusion. Breitbart is a "Questionable Source."
A questionable source exhibits one or more of the following: extreme bias, consistent promotion of propaganda/conspiracies, poor or no sourcing to credible information, a complete lack of transparency, and/or is fake news. Fake News is the deliberate attempt to publish hoaxes and/or disinformation for profit or influence. Sources listed in the Questionable Category may be very untrustworthy and should be fact-checked on a per-article basis. Sources on this list are not considered fake news unless specifically written in the reasoning section for that source.
Reasoning: Extreme Right, Propaganda, Conspiracy, Failed Fact Checks
The Guardian are not listed as a Questionable Source. They've linked to sources that have failed fact checks and failed numerous fact checks (mostly in Op-Ed), though 4 have recently dropped off the list in the last month or so (I think). Their fact-checking seems to have improved. They say this about them:
The Guardian holds a left-leaning editorial bias and sometimes relies on sources that have failed fact checks. Further, while The Guardian has failed several fact checks, they also produce an incredible amount of content; therefore, most stories are accurate, but the reader must beware, and hence why we assign them a Mixed rating for factual reporting.
'Be aware that they publish an avalanche of great news but have failed a few fact checks' is not nearly the same thing as 'Questionable source that publishes propaganda and conspiracy theories! You must fact-check each article individually because they're so unreliable.' There's no way you could read those pages and conclude those sources are the same. They say that Breitbart is clearly a much more biased and less reliable source (to borrow a phrase).
This is the system those people fight to maintain. So grateful I wasn't born there.
That's the thing, though, they don't fight for it. They don't really fight against it, either.
Sooo I guess they can't order anything from a counter, tell employees what size they need etc.
So the men do all the shopping then, do they?
Coming soon to a US State near you!
Women's rights won't be properly protected in the US unless we put a pussy grabber back in the White House instead of... (checks notes)... a woman.

Putting MBFC's rating of itself at the top just makes it look like everything is the least biased, most credible, source.
Why is that line even there? Of course the site is going to say itself is good.
OP linked to it.
No the bots putting the mbfc self check at top of posts linked publication
Yes. Because OP linked to it.
So the bot thinks comments are higher priority or mbfc is always on top. Great :/
😘
Cool cool. Ferengi have infiltrated earth.
Ferengi prefer their feeeemales completely nude, thankyouverymuch.
Free free Palestine
U lost bro?
If I had to guess, they're probably trying to argue, through some very convoluted logic, that muslims aren't real people and therefore no amount of dead Palestinians can be bad
That's a lot more thought than I put into interpreting their 3 word comment lol.
Fair haha, I'm just used to seeing this type of comment elsewhere. Whenever it gets followed up, that's usually what it boils down to
That's just the multipolar world kicking in
A community for discussing events around the World
Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:
Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think "Is this fair use?", it probably isn't. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.
Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.
Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.
Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19
Rule 5: Keep it civil. It's OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It's NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.
Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.
Rule 7: We didn't USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you're posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.
We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.
All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
