Afghanistan’s Taliban rulers on Tuesday banned female students from attending universities effective immediately in the latest edict cracking down on women’s rights and freedoms.
Despite initially promising a more moderate rule respecting rights for women’s and minorities, the Taliban have widely implemented their strict interpretation of Islamic law, or Sharia.
They have banned girls from middle school and high school, restricted women from most employment and ordered them to wear head-to-toe clothing in public. Women are also banned from parks and gyms.

And WHO didn't see this coming? Only people stupid enough to accept the Taliban's word for anything other than that they will oppress everyone else except those men who support their regime.

Don't worry, I expect the US based women's rights groups that flooded the streets in the United States to protest will do so again for this! ... just wait ... it'll happen ... any moment now ..
BTW, this is just a reflection on partisanship where their cause only matters if it fits the political ideology. There are many worldwide Women Rights groups (UN Women, Women Worldwide, etc) that do strong advocacy on the international stage for these women.
