“Wait… you just pass a law and women can’t talk? Call the Heritage Foundation and the Federalist Society. We have the final solution.”

[-] FlyingSquid@lemmy.world 74 points 2 months ago

Does the law also apply to Marjorie Taylor-Greene?

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

Let’s maybe not call it the final solution.

[-] homesweethomeMrL@lemmy.world 12 points 2 months ago

It’s apt. Apt!

[-] fluxion@lemmy.world 18 points 2 months ago

Pfft, they stole that from Project 2025, Appendix F

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.

[-] gsfraley@lemmy.world 64 points 2 months ago

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.

Don't forget that they have to cook and clean as well.

[-] exanime@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago

So exactly JD Vance's stand

Project 2025

[-] andrew_bidlaw@sh.itjust.works 76 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Never ask about:

A man - his wage

A woman - her age

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

Why are they so afraid of women?

[-] VubDapple@lemmy.world 48 points 2 months ago

Who would be the servants and sexual submissives if women were free to do as they pleased?

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?

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 16 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

It's the woman's fault, obviously!

Edit: also, your comment is ironic given your username. One of the GOAT sexual deviants...

[-] geneva_convenience@lemmy.ml 11 points 2 months ago

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

[-] cygnus@lemmy.ca 18 points 2 months ago

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.

I feel like the Taliban rule workshopping is something like, "Okay, everyone write down ANYthing that get you off or arouses you. Alright, let's see... 'women's feet,' yeah, banned. 'Clothes,' okay banned. 'Women singing.' Y'all some fucked up, but also banned."

[-] ByteOnBikes@slrpnk.net 25 points 2 months ago

Isn't beards required because a smooth faced man might cause impure thoughts?

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 9 points 2 months ago

I don't know about you guys but even as a straigh dude, especially glorious beards can also have me staring and acting unwise...

I say ban all beards.

[-] bazus1@lemmy.world 11 points 2 months ago

As another straight dude, I don't know what you're talking about. I happen to have unrelated photos at the ready below.

Once, I talked with a Muslim, and I said that they are afraid of women. He told me that they aren't afraid of women; they respect them so much that they have to cover them and do all these kinds of things

[-] MentalEdge@sopuli.xyz 31 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Obviously. How else would they protect them from their uncontrollable male urges?

/S in case anyone gets confused...

[-] Duamerthrax@lemmy.world 25 points 2 months ago

"We protect them like diamonds!"

"So you protect them like objects?"

Well I'm happy a war was fought to liberate them and bring them the joys of deMoCRacy and cheap beer

[-] chaogomu@lemmy.world 15 points 2 months ago

The war in Afghanistan was lost the moment Bush switched gears to invade Iraq.

He pulled resources out that never went back, and then Obama did the same to fight ISIL. And then Trump pulled even more out just because.

As the years went on, more of the security was offloaded to a corrupt interm government that never quite managed to become self sufficient.

When Trump did his pull out, he got Congress to pull funding. That funding was all that wa keeping the Afghani military going.

Then Biden had to finish the pull out, and he did not stick the landing.

Also bonus fun fact. The Taliban is very likely going to start the world's first Water War. They've been damming and diverting rivers that their neighbors rely on.

Man I can't believe they've done it. Who saw this coming

[-] lennybird@lemmy.world 13 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Can you believe it, MAGA has more in common with the Taliban and Russian neo-nazis than being American? At least, their platform reflects an obvious roadmap to these destinations.

[-] xc2215x@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

Should not be a shock to anyone.

[-] SattaRIP@lemmy.world 10 points 2 months ago

This is taking victim blaming women for the mens' reactions to their existence to a new level of so stupid it won't work and will actually have the opposite effect in that people are MORE frustrated, sexually or otherwise.
