news Taliban bans women from hearing each other's voices

[prettyinpink940]

This is so ****** up  They might as well just ban women from existing all together at this point.

I wouldn't be surprised if they banned them from breathing next

This is like assuming all christians are like the Amish ((they're not))

In many other muslim countries women are allowed basic rights, it's just the Taliban in Afghanistan that are ******* backward.

Might as well just take out their wombs and put them in cryo. I can't possibly imagine living like a prisoner all my life.

abrahmic religions are a cancer on this earth. this is so sick and inhumane, i can't even begin to describe how i'd make these men pay

[brraap]

I am disgusted.  

 

Men created religion and these random "divine" rules to keep women restricted,  because in short, they fear a woman's ability to bring life into this world, which is a power they cannot fully comprehend, so instead they try to control. They created stories of Eve being a "temptress" and countless others to push the idea that women are morally "weak" and need male guidance. Essentially, women became another piece of male "property". They set up a system, reinforced by religious doctrine, pushing women to be modest, obedient and focused on family life. By restricting women to the home, men could be 100% sure their kids were theirs, guaranteeing "pure" bloodlines. 

 

So, in cultures where owning land and passing it down is a huge deal, you'll see this play out. The Talibans have enacted an extreme measure of it which just goes to show how religion absolutely needs to go and should never be intertwined with governance. Otherwise, it reinforces these outdated power structures which hinders a truly fair and happy society, with equal opportunities for all. 

 

Cannot imagine the pain these women are going through, when their mere existence is so forcefully restricted.

Why do you believe people who don't vilify individual choice and disagree with essentializing women as a whole based on a demand to meet antiquated cultural norms wouldn't take issue with this?

Something tells me they're just making it up as they go at this point.

Is the Taliban not following scripture? Or are they making up stuff. 

I never got the intention of this kind of argument. I mean they just also banned displaying any living thing from being displayed as a photo or moving picture and cited scripture text as the basis for it. What other Muslim-majority nations have similarly banned the existence of TV and photography?

I asked a question and you went into an entire spiel instead of answering it. Are they not following scripture? Or are they making this up as they go?  I do not know. You seem to.

I think you need to reconcile with whatever ways Islam has negatively impacted your life on an interpersonal level and realize that whatever resentments you have towards homophobic uncles or cousins or brothers that were cruel to you is not a meaningful basis for political praxis. And that you'll constantly end up in this confused and unhealthy cycle with most people not seeing eye to eye with your reactionary view that not harshly punishing the followers of a religion is somehow advocating for it. Your lived experiences seem to compel you to want to punish and harm the followers of a specific religion. I can't say I share that same desire to harm and punish people.

Islamic extremism is the greatest global evil of this century.

Idk, do most Muslim women in your life not allow themselves to hear one another's voices? Do you actually know any Muslim women in real life? It's such an odd question if so.

I don't know any Muslims. I know nothing of the religion whatsoever. 
 

What is the hesitancy in just answering if it's scripture? How is asking if what is written in the religious text odd?
 

I'd ask the same question to a Christian if we were discussing their religion if they are making laws based on religious beliefs. Point to where your text says this. This is not a gotcha question and it's the hesitancy in answering it that's odd. 

[RunUpDoneUp]

You know you're a legit advocate for oppressed women when you point to the tool instead of the cause. /s

People who lash Islam but not also CONSERVATISM & PATRIARCHY are not allies, useful ones anyway and it becomes clear they just want someone to feel superior to and soothe their ego(whether they know it or not.)

 

Cultures plagued by war and occupation tend to be regressive for a while, it's kinda proven throughout history. The taliban are also not a normal group, they were quite literally a terrorist(but rightly against the US military) group. So suffice to say, they're gonna suck and be pieces of sht. So maybe countries should volunteer free passage to their countries if they really want to help?

[Movimento Perpétuo]

Taliban are getting crazier and cruel every and each single day. Poor afghan women.
