Listen friend. They have laws against abuse of women as well, but a different set of laws on a different basis. In fact in many cases there is probably overlap. (rape, harassment etc.) I'm not saying they are paragons of virtue, but just because one does not operate according to the liberal conception of what a human's rights are does not mean one does not have a valid morality. For example, in the US women even before they reach the age of maturity are sexualized by the world around them and pressured to sexualize themselves (see: TikTok). One might conceive that modesty, for example of the flavor of America in 1960 and prior, would have some currency in dignifying women beyond being sexual objects in this context. So while the Taliban historically might have take it too far with their prescriptions for modesty, I think there is a rational argument that can be made for modesty (physical, and psychological) irrespective of any religious proscriptions.No, it's that you have bad reading comprehension.
The US has laws against abuse of women. The Taliban doesn't, because they don't believe women deserve the opportunities and protections that they are afforded in the US. I never said the Taliban don't have laws altogether.
Understand now?
Ha, that's a good one.I present to you the new leader of the Taliban.

Because when you knock a woman down, she never gets up.
It's not as if before the recent Taliban takeover the women there were twerking on the streets of Kabul and putting it up on social media. It's not apt to compare the trajectories of two different societies. And it's not just about education but a wide variety of laws including inheritance, right to divorce etc. which will come scrutiny now.Listen friend.

What I'm saying in my own long-winded way I suppose, is that to legislate to people is not necessarily to oppress them but sometimes a restriction can be liberating in its own way. If women are no longer made to publicly sexualize themselves, if only by the sheer social pressure of having to compete with other women in regards to mens affections, they can be much more free to express themselves through more positive outlets. You wont find the hottest chicks at Harvard, I'll tell you that.
So how would the average Uzbek, Turkmen or Tajik perceive a fanatic pakthun telling them what and how to do things in most intrusive way....at the barrel of the gun?
A local?
Forget living. Doubt they'd even visitGotta love the western living Taliban apologists, ask them and not one would give up their comfortable life to live in Taliban emirate, they would be the first ones to clinge on that C17 to return to the west.
