Fuck it, have the upvote

Jesus fucking Christ. I hadn't considered that.

I REALLY want to find an arab woman who's lived under taliban rule, but also speaks english. I really want to ask her a hypothetical question.

I live in America. I see naked women quite frequently. I live in a society where I've literally gone in public, and seen women wearing a thong bikini, basically made of dental floss, and no top.

The logic of the taliban is that women cannot reveal their bodies to men, or it will FORCE the men to abuse and rape the women. I have frequently been in the presense of naked and near naked women. I am a man. I have never beat or raped a woman.

So I want to ask a woman who's had experience first hand living with the taliban.

Would you feel safer living naked with me everyday? Or fully clothed everyday with the taliban?

Great idea .... just get them to export all the women, then when they want children, ship their semen over, artificially inseminate the women, keep female children, send male children after a few years old to live in Afghanistan with their all male family. Just ban women completely from the country.

Christo-faschists in the US are gonna control every part of our goverment and they want women losing the rights to have a period without government intervention.

Duct tape over their eyes should save them from their uncontrollable, sinful, urges.

They re not afraid of using women as domestic appliances for reproduction and housekeeping, because they are objects, property. They have problems with other men eyeing their property.

The answer is rape

I saw the headline and was like, "well the Lemmy crowd would love this". One half loves authoritarian regimes, the other half hates windows.

Individually, they’re probably racing for social status by demonstrating more extreme versions of the existing set of rules.

It’s a common thing in human cultures to gain social status by exemplifying a more extreme version of whatever the social norm is.

In this case, the norm got established as “special niche for women” and now it’s a runaway process of status-seeking.

Kinda like peacocks and their feathers. Instead of sexual selection in the case of peacocks, this is social selection as men compete for higher and higher status by having more and more ridiculous displays of “look how well I embody this control women rule”.

So it’s not like they’re trying to engineer some specific social benefit. That is, ostensibly, the reasoning. But in actuality, each man who proposes or backs and further encroachment on the women is doing so for his own selfish gain: in the form of social status.

Kinda like there’s no utilitarian value to having ridiculously huge hats, but a person in a culture where big hats signal status can gain prestige by putting on a bigger hat.

This is social status seeking, in the form of purity demonstration.

One way to win support is to pit one group against another. It makes them (the ones on top) feel good and deflects attention from those in charge. Here the woman are used to being treated poorly and many of them even aid in their own oppression. "This is the way it has always been."

They are afraid a man seeing a woman will cause him to rape her.

I think their point is to kill al women so they have reason to be openly gay or just fuck goats.
