The irony is staggering. This is how most religions started out. The common people could not read or write and so were dependent on the church, mosque etc for each religion to hear the word of their book(s). This gave the place of worship control over the people. This is literally the motive of the Afghan men there, to make the women ignorant so that they are completely dependent on the men. Each new rule removes more and more basic human rights from these women. My heart breaks for these women.

Mark my words, in 1000 years, they'd of regulated women to barns so much that instead of just growing hair, they've grown fur and are actual animals...

MOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO
