the chief beneficiaries of the 'Taliban' style of Islam... the total empowerment of the 'Male' in Society, at the exclusion of Women,

Good observation. Whenever we see an "on the scene" report from Afghanistan, there's this perpetual backdrop of Afghani men carrying stuff. Often it's a bundle of kindling that probably took a half a day or more to gather, given that the press reports that Afghanistan has been about 70% deforested for firewood in the last 25 years. These guys look none to healthy either. The young ones are likely off exercising their "privilege" of dying for the cause of their Taliban oppressors.
