It is really upsetting and frustrating Jo; a generation of women & girls were given hope (whether we should have intervened to do so is another question) to have it brutally taken away when we abandon them. Fuck bronze-age religions & fuck insecure male bullies; I loathe them both - and people who make excuses for them.

A curtain to separate male and female university students in class, excluding girls from secondary school, telling working women to stay at home, replacing the women's affairs ministry with the ministry of vice and virtue. Like something out of Monty Python. Yet the Taliban seem to think the world will take them seriously. But maybe it will. Misogyny rules.
Another schoolgirl, a 16-year-old from Kabul, said it was a "sorrowful day".
"I wanted to become a doctor! And that dream has vanished. I don't think they would let us go back to school. Even if they open the high schools again, they don't want women to become educated." www.bbc.com/news/world-asia-58607816
