Women voted overwhelmingly for Biden. Biden left Afghanistan. The Taliban then took over Afghanistan and demolished years of progress by forcing girls out of school and reducing them to second class citizens across the country. Not saying Republicans are any better at handling foreign affairs these days, but when women voted to let horrible men retake areas where young women were getting an education, it feels a bit silly for any woman in the West to complain.
wait hold on, the US had no business in afghanistan to begin with. The US government doesn’t care about the society of afghanistan or their progression. if so the CIA wouldn’t have funded extremist groups in the 90s to begin with, indirectly raising the drug trade. That’s only their excuse to serve their imperialist desires as they steal afghan resources. The same government hiding the epstein files, riddled with pedophiles does not care about the advancement of women rights in foreign countries
i agree it doesn’t lead us to tangible change, but if ppl want to essentially use that to vent their frustrations when has that ever been an issue? my point we cannot talk about how these jokes on the Internet is “damaging”, without talking about how bad misogyny damages first since it’s the root cause
Being mean to people to vent your frustrations is not a good coping tactic. Maybe if you’re an 11-year-old playground bully. Just because punching someone may not be as “damaging” as killing someone, doesn’t mean I should be allowed to get away with punching people out of frustration because there are people out there committing murder.
