New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.
The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.
Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.
Conservatism is a global plague of oppression and death. It always has been.
Taliban men must be the weakest in the world if they can’t even hear a woman’s voice without being shoved into temptation. Do they all just instantly nut when a wrist bone slides out from the veil?! Talk about not having any confidence in themselves.
Imagine being so insecure that you need someone to literally hide every aspect of their being so that you don’t get aroused and can’t control yourself. Fucking weak-willed cowards.
This really sounds more like the men should be kept inside …

You would think since it’s the men that can’t control themselves (per these assanine laws anyway), that they would have to stayed locked away somewhere. The women seem to be able to function just fine.
