The Taliban claimed it 'tried its best' to keep areas open to women

...

The Taliban will ban women from using gyms and entering parks due to issues with citizens not adhering to gender segregation and headscarf rules.

"Unfortunately, the orders were not obeyed and the rules were violated, and we had to close parks and gyms for women," Mohammed Akef Mohajer, spokesman for the Afghan Ministry of Virtue and Vice, said. "In most cases, we have seen both men and women together in parks and, unfortunately, the hijab was not observed."

"So we had to come up with another decision and for now we ordered all parks and gyms to be closed for women."

...

The decision is the latest in a series of moves the Taliban have made to limit women’s rights in Afghanistan since taking power in August 2021.

...

International concern over women’s rights became a reality when the Taliban banned women from secondary education.

...

Taliban have repeatedly stressed that they would protect women’s rights "within the limits of Islam," but the limits of those rights remain unclear and ever-shrinking with each new policy.

Apparently Muslim women like being treated like children.

At this rate, they’ll be banning women from going out of the house without a male relative, just like in the 1990s.

Not surprising in the least as they constrain women over there. The women knew this would come so they shouldn’t be surprised either.
