Brickbat: Window Pain

The Taliban has banned windows in residential buildings if they allow people to see women in their homes.* The ban specifically covers windows that allow people to see into the "courtyard, kitchen, neighbour's well and other places usually used by women," and it includes not only new construction but existing buildings as well. "Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts," the decree claims.

*CORRECTION: This has been revised to specify which windows are affected.

Perhaps provide good water systems and they won't have to worry about wells?

[Adans smith]

Maybe if they let women show some T&A the men would stop banging little boys.

[Vernon Depner]

But banging little boys is what creates the next generation of terrorists.

[Mickey Rat]

It is just their culture and we should not interfere.

[Fist of Etiquette]

Brickbats about simple building codes? Now I've seen everything.

Who knew the Taliban was full of biologists?

Just need to get the men some young British girls to rape and jack off on, and problem solved.

I'm so glad that men are back in charge now that Biden gave Afghanistan back to the Taliban.

"Seeing women working in kitchens, in courtyards or collecting water from wells can lead to obscene acts," the decree claims.

Raises the question: Why can't those men control themselves?

[mad.casual]

Always gotta be about you doesn't it you patriarchal bigot? Real libertarian feminists like ENB oppose men viewing women making sandwiches and preparing refreshing beverages on principle!

[Vernon Depner]

And also the question: what do Afghan women do in their kitchens?

Correction: Why can't Taliban men control themselves?

Better idea. Castrate all Islamic men.

[Art Stone]

Does this apply to the new free Syria?

[Brandybuck]

I see the Taliban is projecting again. They imagine doing all the obscene things to women, and thus assume everyone must have the same raging boner at seeing gramma hauling buckets of water. Gosh, might she be preparing to ... baht? OMG! Boner ready to asplode! Oh now, just saw a glimpse of ankle through the garden fence! Too much! Must do obscene things!
