"The Taliban in Afghanistan have implemented a bizarre new edict that will further curb the voices of women who are already prohibited from speaking in public.

Mohammad Khalid Hanafi, the Taliban minister for the propagation of virtue and the prevention of vice, declared that women must refrain from reciting the Quran aloud in the presence of other women, reported Amu TV, an Afghan news channel based in Virginia, US.

“When women are not permitted to call takbir or athan[Islamic call to prayer], they certainly cannot sing songs or music,” he said in remarks reported on Saturday.

“Even when an adult female prays and another female passes by, she must not pray loudly enough for them to hear ... How could they be allowed to sing if they aren’t even permitted to hear [each other’s] voices while praying, let alone for anything else,” Mr Hanafi was also quoted as saying by The Daily Telegraph.

A woman’s voice is considered awrah, meaning that which must be covered, and shouldn’t be heard in public, even by other women, the minister said."

A man can decide to brutally murder a woman because she left him, because she refused to date him or fuck him, because her behavior hurt his pride/honor/masculinity, or even slaughter a bunch of women (serial killers, school shooters, etc) and it's a more or less accepted conduct. We shrug it off like it's nothing, like it's out of our hands. Another cloud in the sky.

But a woman complaining about men's behavior's in a little corner of the internet? Oh, you evil bitch. You fascist bigot. You should face a firing squad.

I once read a post mentionning that whites should count themselves lucky that black people want "only" equality, and not revenge. But if I say the same about men and women — despite women's mistreatment having lasted millennia while slavery, segregation and racism combined have lasted centuries — I'm downright crazy.

It's so maddening to think about. If anything, women are incredibly kind and understanding towards their murderers. Way too much. Fuck, when I see groups of men with power that make women's lives a living hell, like the talibans, I think women should wipe them out. They can’t be reasoned with, and it's a question of life or death, or life or enslavement, so it's self-defense.

And outside of those groups? There comes a time where you can only acquire your rights by force, because mentalities and culture won't change spontaneously. Gender parity in governments is a law forcing gender parity because it's been proved and recognized that otherwise, it would never happen on its own.

Words can't express what I'm feeling right now

My heart bleeds for all Afghani women. This is evil. Men are evil.

"As it stands, Sweden, Finland and Denmark already grant refugee status to all Afghan women seeking asylum, recognizing the severity of the persecution of women in Afghanistan - because of their gender."

How the Taliban erased 20 years of progress for Afghan women and girls:

M£n ruin everything they touch! They only bring pain, destruction and suffering!

Nothing will get better for us women until we decide to cut them off completely from our lives! Join the 4b movement! Stop waiting for men to change! Stop waiting for your oppressor to have empathy for the oppressed!

Before islam. The way it used to be, until the Mullahs and Ayatollahs and Sheiks took over, the same Islamists that students across America are cheering for, the same Islamists who's supporters fill the streets of London and New York. Shame on them.

As Taliban starts restricting Afghan men, some regret staying silent - The Washington Post

I'm calling it now. The same societies that didn't care about women having their rights demolished by the Taliban are now going to see this as a humans rights issue just because it also affects men now. And if anyone asks "why didn't the men speak up?", that's because some of these men actually benefited from the Taliban's misogny and even supported them.

They didn't think that the Taliban's draconian laws would apply to them, and now they're panicking because they've realized that being complicit with an authoritarian regime wasn't going to protect them and that it was always going to come at a cost.

Unfortunately it seems that Afghan women will be forced to continue suffering and will likely be neglected as media focus will be on the men who suffer.

Remember how a year ago we were assured that the fundamentalist Islamic terror group was a changed, Taliban 2.0 which would respect women and form an inclusive government, and a year ago insisted that "all the girls and women will return to school and their teaching jobs" within "a very short time"?

And how western post-colonial nutters and Islam apologists insisted the New and Improved™ Taliban 2.0 was a good thing?

Yeah.

Reminder: The Taliban aren't extremists, they're fundamentalists. What they're doing is 100% in line with Islamic doctrine.

"We want to live a life like the Prophet lived 1,400 years ago and jihad is our right. We want to recreate the time of the Prophet and we are only carrying out what the Afghan people have wanted for the past 14 years." -- Ahmed Rashid, “Taliban: The Power of Militant Islam in Afghanistan and Beyond”

Honestly, I don't know whether the schools will reopen or not under this government which doesn't have a bit of thought or understanding for girls. They count the girls as nothing.
