I am sure these Afghan women would be more than happy to trade places with any of the goofy lib women we have here.

Oddly Gillibrand insists on living in the United States instead of in the more progressive Pakistan under the notoriously feminist Sharia law.
New York Senator Kirsten Gillibrand, appointed to her position via Senator Schumer as a favor for a politically connected clan, changed all her political positions and is working hard to pretend that she’s a serious legislator.
Mainly by repeating stupid things that other people have said.
The most animated speaker was Gillibrand, who condemned opposition to expanding paid family leave across the country.
The Family and Medical Insurance Leave Act would establish a national paid family and medical leave insurance program so workers would not have to choose between a paycheck and caring for themselves or a family member, said Gillibrand.
“In every other industrialized, wealthy country in the world they have paid leave,” the senator said. “Europe has up to six months. Even Afghanistan and Pakistan have paid leave, but we do not have paid leave in this country, and because of that when forced to meet a family need, an urgent care need, often times women are forced to leave the workplace because they cannot take that time off unpaid.”
Sure Pakistan and Afghanistan are fantastic for women.
Liberals never seem to realize that just because Third World Failed State #44 ratified their UN Treaty on the Protection of the Rights of Transsexual Penguins and added the laws to the books doesn’t mean that those laws mean anything or apply to people.
Every dictatorship has signed on to a dozen human rights treaties.
Sure Pakistan and Afghanistan have paid leave for women. They also have prisons full of women who left their husbands. There are rather few Afghan women even in the workplace.
Those who are often work for Western NGOs who would provide family leave anyway.
On paper, Afghanistan has some very generous laws for women in the workplace. 100% employer responsibility, sure. Take as many weeks off as you want.
In reality, the justice system is nearly inaccessible, illiteracy is widespread and the average income is measured in cents a day.
Demanding your rights from a local employer? Good luck with that.
Men can and do kill women with impunity. But they’ve got weeks of 100 percent paid family leave on the books somewhere. So they’re shining models for the progs.
She just says anything that comes into that empty little head of hers, doesn’t she?
These people are idiots.
Yes they are. And the idiot sheeple will believe crap like that too.
this is a resume enhancer for a Democrat
The ho needs to tell that to the women in Afghanistan and Pakistan. I know they’d really appreciate hearing it. As a matter of fact, why don’t she call that female pilot from the UAE and tell her how good she’s got it.
Yeah, but where does what comes into her head come from? What’s she drinkin’, or smokin’, or sniffin’?
Democrats are strange life forms.
If she really believes that she should move to Afghanistan or Pakistan for a month..heck even better, I give her a week, if she can last a week without being beheaded or stoned to death she should consider herself lucky
So, when does she move to either of those feminist paradises?
“Jane, you ignorant slut!”
“Democrats are strange life forms.”
They are indeed.
Articles that explain how modern liberals suffer from a mental disorder.
By all means, Kirsten, head over there alone and unaccompanied to prove it!
Well, then there’s that whole, beheading your former coworker if they a\happen to be a woman, and therefore weaker Just in the upper body strength area.
But, yeah, that’s really not so good for women.
This woman is a stupid B****. If she feels this way she should move. I am sick and tired of these ignorant lying politicians.
Good grief!
Tell her to live in Pakistan or Afghanistan for 5-6 days.
Hmmm, the stupid runs strong in this one...
