Do you think that Afghan women should form all female militia units to fight the Taliban?

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Kind of like the Kurdish female militia units.
A cool name would be "Daughters of Scythia" (an ancient Iranic peoples where men and women had equal standing).

And part of Scythia is present day Afghanistan.

I guess their emblem could be a recurve bow and instead of an arrow, it's shooting the female symbol.

[BCA6010]

Sounds like something you'd expect from Hollywood, except they'd screw it up.

It won't happen. There might be females mixed in with resistance groups but they wouldn't use all-female units of significant size. When you're going to those lengths, you're either more concerned with propaganda than results, or you're not in a dire situation; the anti-Taliban forces do not have those luxuries and likely never will because they never did in the best of times.

The Pashtun people also aren't the Kurds.

[ThatNoUVAtYourEyes]

That the females could do it, I don't doubt.
They are only socialised to be manipulative sex dolls - there is nothing innate about that.

The whole Taliban thing, though... looking at Germany, I don't see how the Taliban are any worse. Not better, but also not worse in a substantial way.

They probably originate in Hindu overpopulation (India/Pakistan etc) - yes, they want life well arranged, but their parents simply popped too many babies for the resources available so now they fight with each other.

I think the rest of us should simply put up the Trump style wall and leave them alone. No interference should have ever taken place (probably only happened after Sarajevo sniper shootings pulled the foreign countries into local/domestic problems. Or maybe because of Kuwait and the Gulf War back in the early 90s).

Hindus are the underlying problem

[imanf7]

The only hope they have is if other countries leave them alone that includes the west ; usa , uk , russia and the muslim countries especially pakistan (the main source of taliban ) . after that revolution will happen eventually and even if many people die (they're going to die anyway ) their life will be better

[Seinna]

Since they clearly can't count on their men to even attempt to defend them I think they have no choice... I think feminists from Europe should support them in that fight and I'm willing to chip in for their plane tickets :)

[ChrisMaster69]

So you going to separate out the Shia (Hazara) from the Sunni and have them fight the Taliban? Hmm yeah.

Alternatively, you could do what was suggested a number of years ago as part of the working things out with Iran, which was to move back the approximate 3 million Afghan Shia refugees from Iran to Afghanistan…

That was looked at until some country destroyed any hope of any deal with Iran…

[juliaanita]

I think that it must be dreadful to be female and in Afghanistan.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

I could only imagine.

[Caunsos]

Wouldn't work. Half the country support tiban and the sexist religious ideology that is used justify their crimes against women. Among that half of the population are women share the same sexist beliefs and yhat women that step out of their places should be punished.

[jshm2]

Nah, you have to remember most of that is bullshit.

Women were not treated that bad there to begin with. It is a poor country, with few opportunities for anyone, let alone women.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

Depends on what part of Afghanistan you're talking about. What you said is true of the rural areas but not the major cities like Kabul.

[ohshee]

Well you see what the Afghan men did the moment the American troops left Afghani men put their weapons down and gave up so I'm positive they would do better than the men

[Agape93]

Absolutely. They have a lot to lose, and will lose it if they don't fight to keep it.

[Ad_Quid_Orator]

If they want to make a historic connection:

[KimmyKimmy]

I'm shocked that you didn't blame Trump. Isn't that a first for you?

[blondfrog]

I mean that would be cool but would that be enough to stop the Taliban? I think Afghanistan has plenty enough males to help fight against them.

[Rangers]

No, we should send democrats so we can get rid of them without having to pull the trigger ourselves

[Yyyyu]

Well why not? Kurdish did something similar but it would be better if afghan men were also helping

[NorthwestRider]

Yep, women need to kick the religious nuts ass

[888theGreat]

They will be raped either way

[Snakeyes7]

If they want to, I don't see why not.

[This_Is_My_Opinion8]

With what weapons?

[jimmy2]

Yes i think so
