Taliban ban windows to stop women being seen inside homes
Taliban ban windows to stop women being seen inside homes
The Taliban have taken multiple steps to walk back women's rights including forbidding education for girls beyond grade six and banning women from universities.
Summary
The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over "obscene acts."
This new decree mandates blocking or obstructing such windows in existing and new buildings, continuing the group's systemic repression of women since regaining control of Afghanistan in August 2021.
The Taliban's policies have included bans on women's education, public appearances, and voices.
Critics, including the U.N., warn these actions dangerously erode human rights, while activists call out global inaction over the ongoing oppression.
It's Newsweek, but this does sound like a thing they'd do.
Why not remove Muslim men's eyes so they can't see women?
That's the other guy that said that, the taliban follows a different guy who wandered about a desert.
TBF they like that guy too. And the second guy didn't suggest this - it's all them and their weird homoerotic incel energy.
And just when I thought the Taliban's laws against women were too extreme already, they decide to do this. They quite literally can stoop way lower than I thought.
I feel so bad. Thanks for ruining my first day of 2025, Taliban.
Next step: The Screwfly Solution
When do we get to the part of the episode where James T Kirk, prime directive be damned, finds the meglomaniacal computer controlling these men, and blows it up?
Have you any idea how it feels to be a fembot... living in a manbot's manputer's world?
Hey Taliban, here’s an idea: ban eyes for men, problem solved.
Similarly:
How is this not The Onion?
Because this is the bad place.
Jason figured it out!?
Yeah you know what? I deserve to be here.
Religion
Agreed.
These taliban guys are pretty rude.
This just in: the taliban are afraid of women
Gun control is sexist. Women deserve the ability to defend themselves from those larger and stronger then them.
Women needing to be safe isn't an argument for increasing the availability of guns, it's an argument for improving safety for women.
If the objective is to protect women, allowing guns to circulate within the civilian population is counterproductive.
On top of that, gun control is inherently not sexist because it doesn't discriminate between gender.
Damn for a country that hates gay people, they REALLY hate looking at women.
No, it's more like each extremist Muslim doesn't want any other man looking at any of his women, because he knows what he'd be unable to stop himself from doing if he saw someone else's woman and assumes every other man is like that.
And that line of thinking breeds generations of men who rather than might think that way, actually do think that way, making the rule even more necessary.
It's also a lot easier for a man to punish or beat a woman than it is another man, and it's that line of thinking which turns women into property rather than people. And property can be treated however you like.
Had to do a double take that I'm not in The Onion community.
I have to do that disturbingly often nowadays.
They can't be seen, can't speak, women's voices cannot be heard (even by other women), and now they can't have windows.
At this point, if they have such a problem, leave the men inside in a windowless box and let women do the work. It's men getting a half chub because they heard of someone thinking of a woman. Their obsession with women is so fucking weird. It's like they're the boogy man or some shit.
All these bans make it easier for abuse and violence against women and girls to proliferate
Yeah it's a weird fear fr. I wish I understood it but not sure if understanding it any better would make any difference. And that's even more labour on women yet again to figure out why are these men so scurred of women's agency? The imbalance is unconscionable.
You've just re-told a story from 1905, Sultana's Dream.
I'll have to check it out. The Wiki makes it sound interesting already.
Aside from the obvious egregious human rights violations here, there's going to be a lot of health repercussions for this.
Not getting enough, or any sunlight can cause vitamin d deficiency which can cause a whole host of problems. Including if a woman breastfeeds without getting enough vitamin d her baby will also be deficient. Get ready for a bunch of children who are going to be at a high risk for developing rickets.
I guess that's the price they're willing to pay to oppress women?
Those insecure little boys really are afraid of women.
It's either that or they justify these repressive laws by saying men are lustful beasts who can never be trusted to contain their impulses. (And therefore those laws are for their "protection.")
This is an attitude shared by all of the "girls have cooties" religions.
MAGA furiously scribbling notes.
Today, Pakistan, tomorrow, USA. You might be sceptical today, but if you think it really couldn't happen in America, you haven't been paying nearly enough attention.
A authoritarian theocracy seizing control of the government? Sounds serious!
So when will democrats drop gun control considering this existential threat to the nation state?
You think you can shoot your way out of this?
Comrade, I too am a member, but the way you shifted topics here is too abrupt to provide meaningful discourse. I like to lean into the “we keep us safe” slogan.
And to the doubters: yes, target practice, firearm safety training, and mutual aid support DOES make a difference in keeping communities strong, resilient, and safe. No one in the SRA is advocating for active resistance with force to anything or anyone.
Wild topic change there!
So when will democrats drop gun control
Nearly every legislative session, iirc. More permanently, probably when school shootings stop for good.
I dunno. Banning seeing women. Seems kinda gay.
Pederastry still happens in Afghanistan it’s called Bacha bāzi. They drug up a teenage boy and dress the boy up in women’s clothes. The boy has to dance in front of older men and then they rape the boy. They are gay pedophiles. This practice dates back to when that area was conquered by Alexander the Great.
Why stop at windows? I mean, doors are even bigger openings.
Saddam Hussein housing about to go hard.
Taliban are more afraid of women than /r/incel
just like Lemmy, the Taliban doesn't like Windows
at your rate we're gonna have a free tech stack before we have equality. The struggle against patriarchy is not a joke
Why not ban eyes?
So noone can see any woman!
Let's just blindfold all men, or even better, seal them in cement to make sure they don't look at women and have impure desires!
Those guys sure love banning things. They're gonna lose track of all the things they've banned, unless they hire someone to tally all their bans.
Unless of course there's a ban on that too
The point is to ban everything and lose track so that when they don't like you, they can always find something you did that was banned.
Soooooo, instead of educating young boys and men about respect and decency, they instead force women to cover themselves completely, and now remove windows from buildings, because young boys and men can’t be trusted to be basic human beings?
Yeah, you know you’re doing it right when you have to force other people to bend to your degeneracy.
I dont believe that what you think their goals are, are their goals.
I think their goal is for the men to still be degenerate pigs, but only with a single woman.
Republicans taking notes... 📝📝📝📝📝📝
Ban eyeballs.
Why not just ban everything while you're at it?
The Taliban could not see women easier if they simply forced the men to blind themselves. 🤷🏻♂️
Is this a The Onion article?
I wish it were an Onion article. Unfortunately it's all too real.
Taliban doesn’t represent our religion Tbh
They may not solely represent a religion but they definitely represent it. Mormons also represent a part of a religion. As do crusaders. And the Klan. And people who circumcise women. And the child rapists in the Catholic church.
You don't get to claim only nice things are representative and bad things aren't as if religion as a power structure isn't the core problem in and of itself.
Exactly, kind of. Religious fundamentalism is a fascinating concept, because basically it is exactly that - taking the fundamental ideas of the religion and using that interpretation to derive perspective and subsequent law or policy.
In a very real, significant way it's a better representation of the religion than the watered down, culturally accepted version that moderate religious individuals will say is the 'real' version.
Orthodox is fundamentalism, and anything otherwise is not the actual religion, even if that is the majority, like modern Christianity.
I don't disagree at all. It's kind of like how the incoming US regime isn't representative of all Jesus-people.
That said, it seems like Islamic and Chirstian groups hold people captive in the worst ways imaginable, using every dirty psychological trick ever thought of.
A "family" memeber has used a proxy-person to suggest I go to a turn-you-not-gay-anymore camp, as an adult... I have also experienced a "polite" conversation with a Musilm about the Quaran, over a meal. I pointed out my attempt to read it in high school in a book store, and surprise that it was almost all just "moral" rules. He said it was something like a guide book, and decided to inform me on how many lashes one receives as a gay person, before they're "put to death." What a confusing way to try to convert an unapologetically half-gay sketpic...
All I'm trying to express is that community and having a group/family of people that can rely on and relate to each other is very important to maintain sanity thru life, but it can come at a severe cost if the group is religious. Even budhist groups can become violent, so I don't think it's generally based on specific religions, as much as the microcosm within the book(s) club that you're in.
I always hope religious people can escape, or at least glean something helpful from their beliefs, and not end up closed off from other people, and the ability to think on their own terms. Thank you for reading my Ted Talk lol.
Why do fundies always spend their time on pointless bullshit instead of actually governing
Keeping the women barefoot and pregnant while doing chores and the kids fighting your feuds is governing for them
Okay there's fundies and there's the Taliban. Those people are just insane.
The only solution would be the women rising up and stealing their husbands and brothers guns to foment a violent revolution. Sure some will probably be killed in the uprising but I'm sure it will end quickly because it would be very inconceivably stupid of the men to kill such a large number of women, then whom would they procreate with?
I wonder what the region would look like without centuries of western capitalist oppression by europe and most recently the US.
I'm curious, are these women actually flirting with these perverted creeps from the window... or are they flashing signs to each other because it's the only way they can talk?
They are merely existing.
Ugh. The nerve.
Damn sluts, always looking out of their windows in their own homes!
Probably because one of those Afghan whores flashed a bit of wrist at some pious innocent man who was trying to go about his day.
/s - like you hadn’t guessed.
Getting fresh air in Afghanistan be like:
- Air vent
- Fan
-
Entrance covered by bricks and rubble
-

So, does the Tali ban a ban on windows? So it's not allowed to ban windows? So they're the Talibanban now? Or did they approve a ban on windows, so they're the Taliaproveban now? This is so confusing.
I think Tali is the word for 'all' and 'ban' is a loan word. They're slowly making way to their namesake.
sad Russian assassin noises
I wish the Taliban would just come out of the closet already.
Keep poking the same dead end, Taliban. The way forward could never be behind you. You've got it basically figured out. Never question anything.
You speak like they want to progress.
TIL: The Taliban are apparently Geth
It seems they saw that one episode of X-Files with the mom under the counter and are aiming towards it…
Reads about how Taliban take women's rights away and shut them in the houses with no windows so men won't be tempted to do bad things to them
🤔 Gets ideas about things we could do with CEOs so Luigi's won't be tempted to do bad things to them
Stop making everything about America for five minutes, will you?
The Taliban have banned windows in homes that allow views of areas where Afghan women might be seen, citing concerns over "obscene acts."
Ok, just looked up the article and there is specified "inside". So they still could ban all windows facing areas where women can be seen outside too, unless, of course, they still allow women outside.
Ok wtf
I hear this isn't the reality as media puts it, it's not as strict there. Not yet at least. Heard it from someone who's parents are from there and visited multiple times.
Yet the one country trying to increase rights to people is hated by the rest of the world and called baby killers.
Israel's occupation and destruction is not increasing Palestinian rights just like nazi Germany didn't increase jewish people's rights.
Quick we must liberate their women by murdering them all and destroying their infrastructure. Oh look they happen to have oil. How convenient!
What country
fuck off colonialist <3
Not a word about Islam. Never change retards.
At least here in Portugal there are a couple leftist parties that defend talibas and Sharia Law and at the same time you cant ask a woman what time it os because thats sexual harassment... The world its a beautiful place
Yeah, that sounds totally not made up by somebody trying to discredit the left ;)
you cant ask a woman what time it os because thats sexual harassment...
I think that's a problem with how you're asking. I don't speak Portuguese, so I can't give specific advice, but I'm certain that you're doing something wrong if you have that problem.
Uh? Quem?
Sure there are.
do que raio estás a falar, cara?
