Taliban Use Violence to Break Up Women's Protest in Kabul
Published 2 years ago
Afghan women participating in a protest for basic human rights in Kabul, Afghanistan have their march broken up by members of the Taliban who threaten to murder the lot of them with automatic rifle fire.
Meanwhile on Twitter, American and European feminists are more concerned with micro-aggressions, manspreading, and the pay gap between WNBA and NBA players.
This is happening. It's real. You're looking at something that happens every single time women in countries like Afghanistan ask for basic human rights. This isn't women pushing for governmental control. This isn't women trying to obtain some obscure victory over a perceived slight against their womanhood. This is women trying to get the basic right to be outside of their homes without a male escort. This is women trying to outside without the fear of being stoned to death because a man was offended by the length of their hair. This is women asking to be treated like human-fucking-beings.
The modern feminism movement is a joke. I don't want to hear about how you're offended by mansplaining while there are women facing situations like this in the world. If you want to impact women's rights, it's time you start looking outside of the borders of the United States and the EU and start traveling to places like Afghanistan, where asking for absolute basic human rights like the right to be in a store without your husband's presence is enough to get you shot at and threatened by the Taliban.
Oh wait. None of these women have access to Twitter or Instagram. What was I thinking. You can't retweet them or change your profile picture for social clout, so they don't matter. Feminism only matters when you can flash it on your victimhood card for social status. My bad. I'll be handing out $1 off venti-pumpkin spice lattes in the comments section for anyone I might have offended.
