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.

    They can’t be seen, can’t speak, women’s voices cannot be heard (even by other women), and now they can’t have windows.

    At this point, if they have such a problem, leave the men inside in a windowless box and let women do the work. It’s men getting a half chub because they heard of someone thinking of a woman. Their obsession with women is so fucking weird. It’s like they’re the boogy man or some shit.

    Soooooo, instead of educating young boys and men about respect and decency, they instead force women to cover themselves completely, and now remove windows from buildings, because young boys and men can’t be trusted to be basic human beings?

    Yeah, you know you’re doing it right when you have to force other people to bend to your degeneracy.

      Pederastry still happens in Afghanistan it’s called Bacha bāzi. They drug up a teenage boy and dress the boy up in women’s clothes. The boy has to dance in front of older men and then they rape the boy. They are gay pedophiles. This practice dates back to when that area was conquered by Alexander the Great.

    Those guys sure love banning things. They’re gonna lose track of all the things they’ve banned, unless they hire someone to tally all their bans.

    Unless of course there’s a ban on that too

      Let’s just blindfold all men, or even better, seal them in cement to make sure they don’t look at women and have impure desires!

    Why do fundies always spend their time on pointless bullshit instead of actually governing

      Keeping the women barefoot and pregnant while doing chores and the kids fighting your feuds is governing for them

    I’m curious, are these women actually flirting with these perverted creeps from the window… or are they flashing signs to each other because it’s the only way they can talk?

      Probably because one of those Afghan whores flashed a bit of wrist at some pious innocent man who was trying to go about his day.

      /s - like you hadn’t guessed.
