  1. > Afghan foreign ministry political deputy Sher Abbas Stanikzai made the remarks in a speech on Saturday in south-eastern Afghanistan’s Khost province.

    > He told an audience at a religious school ceremony there was no reason to deny education to women and girls, “just as there was no justification for it in the past and there shouldn’t be one at all”.

  2. Something about treating half of your citizens as chattel that just doesn’t sit right with decent people.

  3. It’s insane to me how a culture in the modern world can be so twisted and behind that they basically “outlaw” an entire gender (sex).

    Edit for that one keyboard warrior 🙂

  4. Its funny that now they are in charge they begin to realize some of the things they wanted to change should have just stayed the way they were.

  5. Just don’t get the point of treating females like they are nothing. You are born from one. What are they truly mad about? So dumb. Society just can’t grow up

  7. “Last September, there were reports authorities had also stopped medical training and courses for women.”

    “In Afghanistan, women and girls can only be treated by female doctors and health professionals.”

    Beyond absurd.

  8. They will not change a thing. Taliban is comfortable as they are now why change anyting ?

  9. I wonder these butt nuggets ever think about the fact that when they came back into power, millions of the citizens tried to flee the country.

  10. There is a lot of policy change in countries since Trump nears power.

  11. How do they expect women and girls to access doctors or dentists? Obviously it is unthinkable for a male to medically treat a female. Who is going to deliver babies and all that?

  12. Maybe they are experiencing some ‘unintended consequences ‘.

  13. All the soldiers who fought for change, to give people hope, who died trying to help them…

    If they hate women so much why not have them banned from the country? Have your all men country.

  18. BREAKING: The Worst Person You Know Just Made A Great Point

  19. Purity spiral. Having won power, the former revolutionaries now miss the simpler times when they were fighting for victory. They have turned to imposing ever more harsher and nonsensical laws to try and recapture that spirit. Women are just an easy target.

    By calling out for moderation, this guy has marked himself as a “counter revolutionary”. I wouldn’t want to be in his shoes.

  21. Islam is a disgusting religion that belongs in the dark ages
