Afghan Journalist: Taliban Banning Women from Going Outside
Breitbart ^ | 08.21.2021 | Frances Martel

A female Afghan journalist denounced Thursday that, despite assurances to the international community that they would allow women to work, Taliban jihadists are banning women from leaving their homes in Kabul and personally banned her from doing her job.

Radio Television Afghanistan (RTA) anchor Shabnam Khan Dawran denounced the jihadist regime, in power since its takeover of Kabul on Sunday, for denying her access to the RTA headquarters on the grounds that she is a woman.

“I wanted to return to work, but unfortunately they did not allow me to work. They told me that the regime has changed and you cannot work,” said Dawran said, according to Afghan cable news network Tolo News, where Dawran once worked.

Ma’am, sorry to break the news but there’s been a change. Complaining like a woke westerner is not on the menu.

Oh that's just silly. The Taliban is a bunch of angry religious fanatics who wear funny clothes, have odd, often ridiculous beliefs, including that they are destined by history to rule the world, hate anyone who isn't part of their little group of fanatics, and try to destroy them.

Democrats, on the other hand. . . . Ummmmm, never mind.

Any woman who is not a sex slave (”wife”) to a taliban, will die a miserable death, discarded in the new Afghanistan.

< sarcasm >Even though you had to kill them, you thought the Taliban had a pretty good handle on how to treat women. < /sarcasm >

“...Taliban jihadists are banning women from leaving their homes in Kabul and personally banned her from doing her job.”

Certainly a lot less lawsuits if the same happened here.

So a media person is trying to whip up anti-muslim bigotry.

They obviously didn’t get that strongly worded letter the woman at the State Department sent the other day.

They put their hair in pigtails and are pretending to be scared girls.
Women only run their mouths when they know they’re safe.

We should have spent the last 20 years teaching Afghan women to be proficient with AKs and knives.

Sounds too much like Israel. Not a good role model for a “country” where we spent all that time teaching them to be dependent on somebody else for their defense.
