"Ninety percent of Afghan women are illiterate. How will they know who to vote for?" Volpi said.

They can learn to read, which millions of them are also doing, and which they were not allowed to do under the Taliban. This activist is a fool. Women in Afghanistan are so much better off now that I cannot imagine anyone who knows even the rudiments of what things were like under the Taliban making this ridiculous claim.

You have to understand the far-left liberal mindset:
Gulags and death camps aren't so bad as long as they're OUR gulags, run by OUR people. It takes a village you see...even a Taliban one.
