It could be that Taliban have gotten a good look at Western feminism, and do not want to risk it taking root there.
Teachable moment
I read a terrific book, “The Kabul Beauty School,” by Deborah Rodriguez, an ordinary American and a hairdresser. She felt so horrible about the way women are treated in Afghanistan, she went there with supplies donated by the manufacturers, and taught women to fix one another’s hair. True story and she’s an amazing writer, She finally had to marry some almost-OK muslim man to stay there without getting murdered by the Taliban. As I recall, it was on the NYT bestseller list.
Very brave woman, also very good looking and an excellent writer.
As Roger Scruton pointed out: Liberals across the world are all fighting for the same things. Conservatives, however, are each fighting to protect something unique to their specific cultures.
Libs to argue we didn’t send Pakistan enough $$$$$$$$$ for “gender programs” in 3..2..1...
Islam at its finest.
Moslems at their most aggressive devotion to their religion are called conservatives. A better description would be fervant devotees.
Muslems don’t wanna hear your women’s lib progressive human being crap. Get your burqa down on your face our you will be shot. Get it?
Just another day in Berzerkistan.
Those areas ARE afghani and Pakistani conservative. This doesn’t mean American conservative.
Similarly, feminism there is for women to have the right to not be treated as slaves. It is quite different from third wave feminism
