Stunning videos of brave women leading men in protests against the Taliban on the streets of Kabul have emerged online.

Many Afghan women now fear for their lives and safety under brutal Taliban rule, which has historically brutally restricted the rights of women and girls.

But some were seen marching in front of and alongside men during protests on Thursday...

In one video, a woman is seen raising her fist, urging the men around her to move forward and keep marching...

Other videos from the Independence Day protests in Kabul also showed women marching shoulder-to-shoulder with young men, holding the Afghanistan flag aloft and chanting "our flag, our identity."...

You go, gals! Make the taliban fear you. Like the tagline says, "this is your moment, it belongs to you" now go take it.

Showing way more intestinal fortitude than the denizens of the Biden Regime who have been running away from mere cameras and microphones. Those gals are probably marching into certain death getting into the Taliban's faces like that. Respect.

They have the ultimate power...and need to used it. Seeing how quickly the Afghan military collapsed, even when armed by and (to some extent) backed up by us this isn’t a surprise. And despite Democrats attempting to blame Trump for Afghanistan it won’t fly (pun intended). I viewed a video of LiberalHivemind about Biden canceling Trump’s evacuation plan months ago, and you can check it out at Whatfinger News in crawler link top of page. Joe usurped office 7 months ago and the buck stops with him. I hope these women have access to weapons as a woman was ended for simply not wearing a burqa the other day.

Democrats only talk tough when they are attacking Americans, not their fellow communists or islamists.

Like I said. By the end of the week Biden will be hailed as a hero and savior of the Afghan people. Media propaganda 24/7 will ensure it.

I suspect the Taliban can put down a protest violently, and without remorse.

They took the cojones that Joe, the Joint Chiefs, and the State Department weren’t using. COURAGE! It’s the one thing that’s worthy of respect.

They are brave women. Unfortunately, I believe they will pay an ugly price for their bravery. Meanwhile, spoiled American feminists will completely ignore them and their plight, and spend their time whining about America.

This is the way to resist - organize in numbers. Hard to tell how many are there, but what will the Taliban do, mow them all down?

Australians could learn from this. Also US businesses. If I had a business in a city and lockdowns and mandates were coming, I’d try to organize all busineeses to non-comply. Would they arrest all owners?

From the movie Braveheart, “the only way we will survive this is to stick together”.

Also I have read there are significant numbers of Afghan loyalists and army members outside of Kabul, waiting to attack. Civil war coming?

“Those gals are probably marching into certain death getting into the Taliban’s faces like that.”

Sadly, that’s most likely true.

I haven’t heard a peep from all the feminists in support of those women, nor from the squad.
