Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.
Well… The ones that aren’t brainwashed into thinking they should be enslaved. There’s a lot of internalized misogyny in Muslim countries because the women have been raised to believe they should be submissive to patriarchal forces.
That’s the issue with control over education, once you get your hooks in you can make the slave believe being a slave is honorable and noble. They’ll fight against their own interests. I’ve even see it on lemmy. Where they talk about the evil west and our damn equality for the sexes, how awful we are for letting women do what they want.
I’m sure that millions of Afghan women would disagree with this. The nation building in Afghanistan was fucked from the start because it completely ignored Afghan tradions of life and government, and the Western-style government was horribly corrupt and failed to inspire any sort of loyalty, but just leaving was incredibly destructive too.
Being consistent in your isolationism is hard when you also have a big military huh? See Chinese naval build up soon to become a big waste of money without serious fast movement towards reeducation or alternatives e.g. large scale island fish farming and maybe brink style wargames simply for entertainment lol
Yeah because the twenty years we spent arming and training the Afghani military did sooooo much last time.
We should fuck off and stop destabilizing countries is what we should do.
But only the specific countries, right? …right?
Should have armed and trained the women tbh
