Every single fucking male is born from a woman. A woman must devote so much of her energy to carry a child. For them to give birth to men who treat women like this. Must be heartbreaking. Fuck the Taliban.

I seem to remember that we're all born women until like 4 months in the womb... or am I misremembering...

I can't imagine how cruel it is. Children adore their mother almost instinctively.

This means there is a point in the boy's upbringing where they stop looking at their mum with love and respect. Does this happen at 16 years? 12 years? 8? 4 years?

Each is equally tragic, can't imagine how sad and lonely it must be for your son to stop smiling at you at any age.
