Similarly:

Because this is the bad place.

These taliban guys are pretty rude.

Religion

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.

Not to support the Taliban but women are scary

This is the best usage of this phrase I've ever seen

Would be fun if not so sad for them. Pretty sure they get booted many times a day without even knowing why.

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.

I have to do that disturbingly often nowadays.

at your rate we're gonna have a free tech stack before we have equality. The struggle against patriarchy is not a joke

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.

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.

Gun control is sexist. Women deserve the ability to defend themselves from those larger and stronger then them.

That's the other guy that said that, the taliban follows a different guy who wandered about a desert.

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.

Saddam Hussein housing about to go hard.

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.

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!

TempleOS, obviously

or maybe an Islam-specific fork?

They are merely existing.

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.

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.

I wish it were an Onion article. Unfortunately it's all too real.

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?

Have you any idea how it feels to be a fembot... living in a manbot's manputer's world?

"Centuries" aka barely one. But sure, everything is due to western imperialism. No way this religion of peace might be the issue here

The men will just go back to the traditional method of asexual budding.

No, no... He has a point

I think Tali is the word for 'all' and 'ban' is a loan word. They're slowly making way to their namesake.

You speak like they want to progress.

Stop making everything about America for five minutes, will you?

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.

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.

I'd argue that they represent the word of the Quran more closely than moderate Muslims.

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

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?
