Absolutely horrifying to imagine the situation of women in Afghanistan right now and especially women like in this article. The Taliban are crazy monsters.
Coming soon to a country near you.
What do you mean with that? Who do I need to look out for :/
fascists are gaining ground all around the world. people love to point to situations like this where colonizers destroy a country and authoritarian regimes rise from the chaos/power vacuum left behind, but then they turn around and willingly vote for fascists because of their own bigotries, not realizing they’re asking for the same shit without the circumstances that led to it elsewhere. it’s wild.
Okay I couldn’t agree more with that.
Is this the so called morality police?
No, this is the Taliban of Afghanistan. The Islamic Republic of Iran has Morality Police. A different flavor of terrible.
That’s an iranian thing.
This is how they find their wives
Imagine being so fucking stupid that you rape women, record the rape on a shitty smartphone, and you actually think that video works as blackmail…against the women. Alright, bet. Maybe it does, but the premise is just absurd.
“You stop talking about us being pieces of shit, or we’ll widely share documented evidence of us being pieces of shit.”
Take every man in the video, and the guy recording. Line them up. Shoot them in the head. Oh and be sure to record it on a shitty smartphone, or don’t, nobody cries when an asshole dies.
In their culture the woman and her family are blamed if she is ‘disgraced’. Her family is ostracized by other families in the community, making it harder for the men to find or keep jobs and do business, and the social connections of the mother’s or other women in that family will be shunned making it difficult to find support during times of distress like illness, pregnancy and births, and even aquirimg food. Marrying off kids to other families will become more difficult if not impossible potentially ending the family line. The community support centers, or mosques, will turn them away. Siblings and relatives will distance themselves. If you want to destroy a family, destroy their women.
In childish terms, they now have cooties, ‘ew get away from me’. I don’t put it that way to be insensitive, I only intend to help some understand. Kids have a way of getting to the core of our social rules in order to understand how to navigate them.
What do you mean by “alright, bet”?
“Alright, sure”
Very disgusting but not shocking knowing the Taliban.
Basically, the entire 20 year war resulted in everything going back to how they were at the start.
In a lot of ways it’s disappointing.
I would say in every way. It was basically pointless. We even proved it only took a small force to get Bin Laden. And not in Afghanistan.
If the war had to happen, it should have ended once the coalition knew Bin Laden had left the country.
Not if you’re a defense contractor. Now they have more money than the government and tell it what to do. Isn’t capitalism great?!
This is the best summary I could come up with:
In the video recording viewed by the Guardian and Rukhshana Media, the young woman is filmed being told to take off her clothes and is then raped multiple times by two men.
Last week the Guardian published accounts of teenage girls and young women who said that they were sexually assaulted and beaten after being detained under Afghanistan’s draconian hijab laws.
In one case, a woman’s body was allegedly found in a canal a few weeks after she had been taken into custody by Taliban militants, with a source close to her family saying she had been sexually abused before her death.
Since they took power in August 2021, the Taliban have imposed what human rights groups are calling a “gender apartheid” on Afghanistan’s 14 million women and girls, excluding them from almost every aspect of public life.
The Guardian and Rukhshana Media spoke with multiple other female protestors and activists who have also come forward to allege that they have been tortured and beaten after being arrested for calling for women’s rights.
“They gave electric shocks and hit parts of my body with cables so that I would not be able to show in front of the camera tomorrow,” she said, adding that she had been tortured into admitting to taking money from foreigners to protest against the Taliban.
The original article contains 917 words, the summary contains 220 words. Saved 76%. I’m a bot and I’m open source!
Why would she do this to them!?
It’s hard for westerners to understand honor based moral codes, but that’s exactly how it works. You can disgrace someone’s honor by doing bad things to them and it’s not really a fault thing, it’s more about protecting honor and it’s preservation a virtue.
This is how honor killings work, it’s part of systems designed to restore individual or family honor by killing someone who is disgraced.
There are several models of morality, not just the individualist morality models we understand intuitively.
