#1 Ah, progressive ideology: all cultures are relative and equally worthy. Except when they aren't. But when they aren't you can't do anything about it except study the problem. Fortunately the plight of these women will serve as material for Rachel's dissertation for her PhD in Gender Studies, so at least something good comes out of it ...

No kidding.

Some things just need to be torn down and reworked. I'm invading Afghanistan and starting an independent country. First, make it only available to women or the non-cultural specific people that don't lead to this situation. Oh, and no liberals.

#2 actually women had quite a lot of rights comparably in Afghanistan way back a few decades ago before the recent crazy backwardised Sunni Qutb-followers from Saudi started spreading their ideology all over the planet with all that oil money. They were lawyers and doctors, they worked and didn't always wear headscarfs.

but now the taliban, the new dark ages.... make that time look like renaissance lost.

who could forget the Bamiyyan buddhas being blasted away... thousand year testimony to the peaceful Buddhist culture that once was the norm
