Summary

The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over “obscene acts.”

This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group’s systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.

The Taliban’s policies have included bans on women’s education, public appearances, and voices.

Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.

    That is a creepy-ass thing to ask any woman. WTF dude? They’re probably safer with the Taliban.

      No need to burst into outrage over details while burring the lede. Why is this so common around here? Yes, the question can be phrased more sensibly but that’s not important and it’s largely inconsequential to their point. Jfc. lol

        What do you mean burying the lede?? His entire creepy post was about asking Afghani women if they would rather live under the taliban or naked in his house.

        What kind of a sicko wants to ask that?

          I believe the intent was, “Don’t you find it odd that I’ve never beaten or raped a woman, if it is ostensibly inevitable?” Or “How do you explain that I’ve never…”

          But it’d make more sense to ask a misogynistic Afghani man. E.g. “Wouldn’t you rather your wife live naked in my home?”

            If your goal is to appear less misogynistic - maybe don’t concentrate so much on naked women living in your house?

            Goddamn.

      No they are not. What do you think happens behind closed doors/windows?
