Y'all... Pretext for harrasment is always legal ;) then it is... He said, she said. Ain't it grand to allow some people these rights.
We know this and we have known this... But yet we still trust pigs, clergy and politicians...
I guess we got a society we deserve.
And if you think this is Afghan specific issue... Grow up lol
What the fuck are you talking about?
your clown society.
Can't it be worse in some places than others, and therefore needing more attention there?
No doubt about that...
My main point is that people will get their faux outrage worked here while they are in denial that this same thing happens in the US... to this day.
Police sexually assaulting women after "pretext" stop is story as old as "police" enforcement
We as a society turned blind eye to this and still do... phone makes it hard but we still do it.
At societal level there is a pot calling cattle black
There is a massive difference in the degree. The situation for women in Afghanistan is terrible. Should no one write articles about girls not being allowed to attend school in Afghanistan because sometimes teachers and administrators at US public schools discourage girls from participating in STEM?
I never said such a thing... I am merely providing context for people before they do the ol' reliable cope: "at least we are not Afghanistan"
Also, you don't have to be a girl to be discouraged from academic achievement in the US... being poor is plenty enough ;)
True about being poor, but at least we're not Afghanistan.
Comrade, OUR clown society.
You aint wrong, good sir!
