They could just lie to us like American pols do but the Taliban tell us straight up exactly what they are going to do.
A huge part of why we failed in Afghanistan was because we tried to force good old PC identity politics and radical feminist culture / LGBTQ down their throats.
They live in an Islamic fundamentalist culture that is more 7th Century fudal warlrod in nature than 21st Century post modern technological .
In their culture, the strong dominate the weak and contrary to feminist teaching, the reality is that women are the weaker sex and the Koran decrees that all women are the property of some man. The Taliban follow the teachings of the Koran and think our modern notions are absurd and an insult to Islam
remember Taquiya, means no integrity.
