Does the law also apply to Marjorie Taylor-Greene?

Is there a way to make it only apply to Marjorie Taylore-Greene?

For the Taliban, women are sexual slaves whose sole purpose is to be baby making machines: they’re not human beings.

What a backward society. Under that thinking, a post menopausal woman would be useless.

Luckily we here in America have much more encouraging and progressive viewpoints from people like our VP nominee Vance who said the purpose of “postmenopausal females” is to provide backup childcare.

No they are extremely human. Human beings are completely capable of this complete dominance of each other. Dont ever dehumanize these atrocities. It paints a picture that we didn’t do it. We did.

I don’t think they were calling the Taliban less than human. Rather commenting on how the Talibam view women as less than human.

Yes. I’m talking about the Talibans’ sick and perverse mind. The Talibans do not view women as human beings.

I think they meant “the Taliban doesn’t consider women to be humans”

Its explaining that dehumanization is how this shit happens

Never ask about:

A man - his wage

A woman - her age

A talib - what they do to a boy aged 5-12

Be glad you’ve not been born there to learn it first-hand. Afghanistan is what rightards want for Europe to become under their reign and other label. This menace is real and you can oppose it.

Conservative Sunni Islam’s attitude towards women basically boils down to men needing to see as little as possible of them, lest they become uncontrollably rapey. Shia are a little bit less misogynistic, and Sufi are significantly less so.

I find that so utterly bizarre, like, you can’t control your sexual impulses like a normal person does unless every woman in your field of vision is dressed like a Halloween ghost?

It’s the woman’s fault, obviously!

Sunni Islam does not prescribe women being fully veiled nor does it forbid schooling. The Taliban are following tribalism not Islam.

I used “conservative” for a reason. Sunni men writ large consider the hijab mandatory, but not face coverings.

Probably because many local women would outright reject the Taliban, as partners and as masters, if they had a say. Educated women especially would run circles around them.

Create post

A community for discussing events around the World

Rules:

  • Rule 1: posts have the following requirements:

    • Post news articles only
    • Video links are NOT articles and will be removed.
    • Title must match the article headline
    • Not United States Internal News
    • Recent (Past 30 Days)
    • Screenshots/links to other social media sites (Twitter/X/Facebook/Youtube/reddit, etc.) are explicitly forbidden, as are link shorteners.
  • Rule 2: Do not copy the entire article into your post. The key points in 1-2 paragraphs is allowed (even encouraged!), but large segments of articles posted in the body will result in the post being removed. If you have to stop and think “Is this fair use?”, it probably isn’t. Archive links, especially the ones created on link submission, are absolutely allowed but those that avoid paywalls are not.

  • Rule 3: Opinions articles, or Articles based on misinformation/propaganda may be removed. Sources that have a Low or Very Low factual reporting rating or MBFC Credibility Rating may be removed.

  • Rule 4: Posts or comments that are homophobic, transphobic, racist, sexist, anti-religious, or ableist will be removed. “Ironic” prejudice is just prejudiced.

  • Posts and comments must abide by the lemmy.world terms of service UPDATED AS OF 10/19

  • Rule 5: Keep it civil. It’s OK to say the subject of an article is behaving like a (pejorative, pejorative). It’s NOT OK to say another USER is (pejorative). Strong language is fine, just not directed at other members. Engage in good-faith and with respect! This includes accusing another user of being a bot or paid actor. Trolling is uncivil and is grounds for removal and/or a community ban.

  • Rule 6: Memes, spam, other low effort posting, reposts, misinformation, advocating violence, off-topic, trolling, offensive, regarding the moderators or meta in content may be removed at any time.

  • Rule 7: We didn’t USED to need a rule about how many posts one could make in a day, then someone posted NINETEEN articles in a single day. Not comments, FULL ARTICLES. If you’re posting more than say, 10 or so, consider going outside and touching grass. We reserve the right to limit over-posting so a single user does not dominate the front page.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.
