The Taliban has banned Afghan women from participating in any sport

They are beaten and humiliated by their own mothers if young women try to participate in any sports.
The Taliban only see women as servile objects.

Imagine if the US decided to ban all American women from participating in sport.

Difference in cultures. In the US there'd be another Million Woman march, in Afghanistan they'd flog a million for daring to be so immodest.

@NangiUniverse in this regard, certainly.

NangiUniverse · 31-35, M

Well, in many other ways as well, @Longpatrol .

@NangiUniverse Western culture, not just US culture.

@Convivial Ask if they want to join the Commonwealth.
Provided they meet the requirements, and then offer them aid. 😅

@chrisCA first they have to join the 20th century lol

chrisCA · M

@Convivial That would be part of the requirements for membership. 😅

And the USA has no representation for anyone who isn't pro war.
To each his own.

@Roundandroundwego First you have to want to be saved, if you can’t demonstrate any ability to defend yourself then you are a lost cause. Case in point Afghanistan govt troops.

This was an inevitable consequence of the Wests failure to win over the population.
They were not willing to fight for their own freedoms either.
I suspect we will have to go back at some point. Hopefully at least 50% of the population will welcome us next time.
:(

@72andy I don’t think the west/US military was ever going to win the Afghanistan population over. Afghanistan soldiers have absolutely no desire to protect themselves from the Taliban. If Allah doesn’t will it then it ain’t happening.
In comparison
Ukraine civilians are more than willing to fight to the death after only 5 weeks training from combined NATO forces.
BOTH countries have been supplied the latest NATO weapons yet Ukraine doesn’t have actual NATO troops on the ground yet they are holding their own against Russia. Where as Afghanistan people were all hanging on to the outside of US Transporters as they left Kabul.
Both the Taliban and Russian leadership are equally war mongers.

I suppose it clears up the transgender sports debacle. Wang or no wang.

@WanderingSavage Considering they are passionate about cricket and the Australians are refusing to play them in Dubai.
There’s as much international love for the Taliban as there is for Putin right now.

We know this.

Thanks for the post, in case some people were unaware of this atrocity.

LordShadowfire · 46-50, M

Can we just carpet bomb the Afghan capital already?

justanothername · 51-55, M

@LordShadowfire way too
Much collateral damage. I think the Afghanistan economy needs to actually collapse first, if it hasn’t already. Basically, Afghanistan is fucked. Good night.

WanderingSavage · M

@LordShadowfire So as if living with the tailiban isn’t bad enough, we should bomb afghans?

Dumbass.
