Women "lose their value"

According to the Taliban, "women lose their value if anyone sees their face in public" and this is why they demand that women wear the full on burqa or chaadar covering them from head to toe. According to the Taliban, "A women has her own value and that value decreases when men look at her". I spent several years in Afghanistan since 2001 and many of the women I met were intelligent, elegant and certainly a lot smarter than their male counterparts and their value as persons certainly wasn't diminished by being able to see their faces. I am gay so therefor have no sexual interest in women but I sure prefer to see someone's face when I'm talking to them rather than some cloth sack with a pair of eyes... So by how much is their "value diminished", 10 goats less if a man has seen their face?

Fascists in the west are no protection from women hating men.

@Roundandroundwego But we love men!
Unless they are stinkers, of course. 😏

@helenS everyone loves men. You just have no place to go but misogynistic venues, schools and firms, dangerous streets and bars.

@Roundandroundwego I go everywhere, without fear. To molest me is simply not an option. The lake is deep, and fish are hungry.

@helenS our collective is sick, damaging and wasteful, but some individuals are doing just great. Callous and happy. Like you.

@Roundandroundwego The OP is talking about the Taliban, not why you can’t get laid because every woman you meet thinks you’re a creep.

@LeopoldBloom creepy. Going for the attack, like a western bully.

@Roundandroundwego What does my OP have to do with women hating men? in fact in Afghanistan, it's quite the opposite, it's the men who hate women and want to control them...

@spjennifer maybe it's supposed to be ---
"woman -hating men". Like Texas. She's underdressed, so we gang bang. Like Boston. Like all"western " countries. Like misogynistic high school boys in the rust belt. Like Choate and Georgetown Prep, where they actually rape you good in teams of varsity athletes. You know - Like the normal status quo.

@Roundandroundwego Sorry but this comment doesn't make any sense and has nothing to do with my OP, again stick to the context please.

Roundandroundwego · 61-69

@spjennifer you're off the wall and non logical, of course. Good move for a loser in an argument - or an American. You never know, so you gotta be dismissive and protect that empty space where a mind should be.

@Roundandroundwego Have you ever lived in or even visited Afghanistan?
I seriously doubt you have as evidenced by your misogynist comments. I wasn't "dismissing" you as much as I was trying to understand what the hell you were babbling about???

@spjennifer wanta try walking home from work in Boston at night when they are men with beer and cars? Taliban sounds better. Better than Harvard men!

spjennifer · 61-69, T

@Roundandroundwego Yes, I'm sure your "Boston men" drive around with AK47's too, don't they... Get a clue already 🙄
