This isn't quite true. Many of these quotes come from an article from FirstPost titled "Why Taliban has banned Afghan women from hearing each other's voice"
Here's an excerpt from the article with some areas bolded for emphasis:
The Taliban have settled in as rulers of Afghanistan, three years after they seized power in 2021.
The latest ban
Even if they have strengthened domestic security and kept a faltering economy afloat, their numerous prohibitions on Afghan women and girls continue to make headlines.
In the latest increase in limitations, Afghan women are now forbidden from praying loudly or reciting the Quran in front of other women, according to a Taliban government minister.
Khalid Hanafi, the Taliban’s minister for virtue, has said it was forbidden for adult women to allow their voices to be heard, according to The Associated Press.
During an event in eastern Logar province on Sunday, Vice and Virtue Minister Khalid Hanafi said: “It is prohibited for a grown woman to recite Quranic verses or perform recitations in front of another grown woman. Even chants of takbir (Allahu Akbar) are not permitted.”
He said that uttering similar expressions like ‘Subhanallah’, another word central to the Islamic faith, was also not allowed. A woman was not permitted to perform the call to prayer, he told the gathering. “So, there is certainly no permission for singing.”
According to the minister, a woman’s voice is awrah, which means it needs to be covered and should not be heard in public, not even by other women.
The audio of Hanafi’s remarks was shared on the Ministry’s social media platforms but was later deleted.
Human rights activists in Afghanistan have cautioned that it might essentially forbid women from speaking to one another.
“How are women who are the sole providers for their families supposed to buy bread, seek medical care or simply exist if even their voices are forbidden?” one activist was quoted as saying by The Telegraph.
"Whatever he says is a form of mental torture for us,” an Afghan woman told the publication, adding, “Living in Afghanistan is incredibly painful for us as women. Afghanistan is forgotten, and that’s why they are suppressing us – they are torturing us on a daily basis.”
“They say we cannot hear other women’s voices, and I do not understand where these views come from,” she added.
TLDR: Afghan women are now banned from hearing each other's voices in prayer. Activists and Afghan women are concerned this could be have the effect of banning women from speaking to each other at all

Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't speak to each other Afghanistan
Women. Can't. Speak. To. Each. Other. In. Afghanistan.
No conversations
No hearing another woman's voice, no hearing her speak or pray
No way to share experiences no way to ask questions no way to organize
And if you ban education then they can't communicate by writing either
Women can't speak to each other in Afghanistan
Women can't communicate with other women in Afghanistan
People can't communicate with other people
That's how low we've gotten
Please don't forget about them.

There's an open pit in the middle of our office plan that drops down into a bunch of very sharp spikes that kill you instantly. This is bad. People keep falling in there and dying. Someone put a sign up, the other day, all bright yellow so you can't miss it, that says "Beware!!! Spikes!!!"
The office immediately split into two factions over it. One says that if anyone falls in the spike pit it's their own fault for being so stupid and not watching where they're walking, so we should remove the sign. The other says that the sign is an insult, there shouldn't be a spike pit in our office at all, and having the sign up like that is just normalising the existence of the spike pit, so we should remove the sign.
We ended up removing the sign. Probably for the better. Still... for a while there it looked like it might have worked...

Wicked Movie is going to make a trillion dollars its opening weekend and everyone will leave the theater the angriest they’ve ever been in their lives because no one except for me and my beloved mutuals knows that despite having runtime longer than the whole stage musical it is a Part One that only covers the first act

So I'm just putting this out here, as someone with nearly 30 years in supply chain management. There's at least 7 working days before christmas where the naughty nice list is not available for corrections. It's just not feasible, orders have to be placed, supplies have to be loaded. If there's a toy for you on like Dec. 18, it doesn't matter what you do on the 19th, it's still coming. And this is only if he's using off the shelf supplies, like barbies or whatever. If it's handmade by the elves? Bump that back about a month. Everyone puts those elf on the shelves out just in time for their "job" to be useless. That elf could watch you kill your entire family and then eat them, and it won't affect the list.
