Feminism

I'm not saying it was a good thing, I'm saying it's what the rest of the world wanted the US to do. After all the accusations of imperialism and global hegemony &etc., the US military finally packed up and left, even though this outcome with the Taliban was fully predictable.

So now what, the US should go back and fix it? Occupy Afghanistan again?

We gave them a whole fucking army?

In this case, pretty much. The Taliban do not negotiate and do not honor agreements made in negotiations. Oh, they'll happily sit down at a table with you and tell you anything you want to hear, and accept any concessions you want to give them, but they won't do what they've said. After the US pulled out and the Taliban took over they super promised that they wouldn't oppress women again:

Zabihullah Mujahid, the Taliban’s longtime spokesman, emerged from the shadows Tuesday in his first-ever public appearance to address those concerns at a news conference.

He promised the Taliban would honor women’s rights within the norms of Islamic law, without elaborating.

And of course, we know what they've actually done:

the Taliban have issued more than eighty edicts targeting the twenty million women and girls who make up just short of 50 percent of Afghanistan’s population. Women and girls face draconian restrictions in public life, namely, on education, employment, access to the justice system, and activities and travel outside the home.

The Taliban traffic women as slaves, just as they did when they were in power before. They are not going to be convinced to suddenly start respecting women according to western ideals about equality through any sort of political pressure. If you want to stop the Taliban's oppression of women, the only option is to remove them from power.

Your post indicates that any other coutry or faction will say nothing about this. Hence silence.

Dont know why youre upset about someone pointing that out.

No, your post starts with the implication that "the west" is not doing anything about the oppression of women in Afghanistan and doesn't care:

The only sound you'll hear from the west [...]

To properly address the point you're trying to make, it's necessary to address the premise first... to begin at the beginning, as it were. If you can't justify your premise, then your conclusion doesn't hold water.

So what is it that you think "the west" is not doing, that it could or should be doing?

No disagreement that the fascists in the west are taking notes, of course.

But the first part of your post implies that nobody is doing anything. I responded to that.

Frankly, I am actually at a loss at what else could be done and it's heartbreaking. The taliban are inventing a whole new type of apartheid at the heels of decades of western intervention. Russia just recognized them and seems to be the only country able to engage them. I got nothing but impotent rage.
