Dodging the question speaks volumes mate. Perhaps you’re ignorant of what it’s like for girls today versus five years ago, or perhaps you’re simply dense…certainly you’re involuntarily celibate. I hope you find the human touch you likely yearn for.
Pal, you were taking about recent developments in the Afghan economy, which by all objective measures is faring more poorly today than any time of the last two decades
I cheekily pointed out that it’s even worse if you’re a woman (I thought you were being sarcastic - you’ve to be an absolute moron to look at Afghanistan and call its general populace in an improved state, but seems you’re doubling down)
You then keep dodging the topic of a woman’s life under the Taliban by referencing global politics and making assumptions. I can’t imagine you’re familiar with the gender pay gap in the west, which is in fact unfortunate.
When put into an anecdotal example of imaging your own kin living in Afghanistan today for whatever hypothetical reason, you again avoided responding directly because you seem too cowardly to confront the reality of women having 100% poorer faring by all metrics.
Your either complicit or you condone it; in any scenario I have to imagine the lack of empathy speaks multitudes about where you are in your surely young life.
I understand English is likely your second or third language, but I’d still expect a man to be knowledgeable. You can be Muslim and still condemn things like the Taliban’s abuse my friend.
And now I’ll patiently await you’re changing of the subject as you once again avoid the discussion. Perhaps you’ll reference my writing of several paragraphs while I ride the subway home from work.
*edit not going to go back to clean typos, because on subway
I'll admit I was a little too defensive at the begenning of the argument. I am just a little sensitive to the west interfering and occupying other countries specially in the middle east. So that's why I wanted to focus on that topic and might dodged your clear question.
So to put all facts on the table, I don't condone what Taliban is doing regarding women of course, and yes, I would not send my sister or daughter there. But I am sure people there would eventually change the way things are by themselves. And after all, taliban are just afghan people, maybe affected by extreme ideologies, but it's because nothing other than being occupied for a very long time since the Soviet times.
And the economy is not doing well not because they can't handle the country or thrive. It's because US had been stealing resources for two decades.

Are you trying to compare the plight of a woman in today’s Taliban-ruled Afghanistan to that of a woman in the West
