The Taliban has ordered Afghan women to wear burkas in public.
The burka, which covers the wearer from head to toe and leaves only a person’s eyes exposed, became the group’s staple order on women in Afghanistan during its first reign of terror, between 1996 and 2001.
The decision to re-introduce the garment serves as a chilling echo of the drastic restrictions Afghan women are once again facing under the Taliban’s control.
If women have no important work outside the home, they should stay at home, the group also declared.
Refusal to comply with the order can result in a male guardian being locked up for three days.
...
the Taliban instructed all government employees to wear a beard and adhere to a dress code or risk being fired. The group also banned women from taking flights without a male chaperone and failed to open girls’ schools as promised.

Will they cancel the big Wet Burqua Contests?
Huge tourist draw. Mostly drooling drunk college boys but they spend a lot of money over there.

Can we put pressure on Whoopi, Stacey Abrams and Hillary to wear burquas?

The Media doesn’t tell people that Joe Biden was hot and heavy on big money for and impossible to lose in Afghanistan.
He’s on Video.
Sound bytes were much longer and he’s long winded - but he was a major driving factor to commit men and spend untold dollars - per his mouth.

The Doha peace agreement between the US and the Taliban (not the Afghan government), which guaranteed the Taliban takeover, was signed on February 29, 2020.

I’m sure the Afghani women are just pleased as punch to be back under the brutal thumb of the tallibunnies because they know that having Demento Joe in charge was a small price to pay for getting rid of that icky orange-man-bad.

What’s worse: a society full of queers and trannies or a society where women must wear burqus? Tough call.
