UN Rights Chief Says Taliban are Too Mean to Women

There are two kinds of people in this world: Taliban respecters and faggots.

Criticizing the Taliban is beyond the pale. They built the perfect government.

The Taliban’s repressive control over women and girls in Afghanistan is unparalleled and will jeopardize the country’s future, the U.N. rights chief warned Monday.

Volker Türk said new morality laws that ban women’s voices and bare faces in public, along with sweeping bans on education and most jobs, were outrageous and amounted to systematic gender persecution.

I shudder to think what is next for the women and girls of Afghanistan,” Türk told the U.N. Human Rights Council in Geneva. The Taliban were not immediately available for comment.

The Taliban — who took over Afghanistan in 2021 during the final weeks of U.S. and NATO withdrawal — have excluded women from most areas of public life and stopped girls from going to school beyond sixth grade, despite initial promises of a more moderate rule.

They are also restricting women’s access to work, travel and health care if they are unmarried or don’t have a male guardian, and punishing those who don’t comply with the Taliban’s interpretation of hijab, or Islamic headscarf.

Everyone in the West knows that if we banned women, everything would be better basically immediately.

There was some argument before that liberating women would do something good for society. Literally no one believes that anymore. I don’t even think most women would try to make that argument. The reason we have women’s rights is that it’s a moral imperative. No one understands the basis of the morality. It’s not from the Bible or any other religion. It’s just “in a democracy it’s our values that women must have rights, even if that destroys everything.”
