Afghan schoolgirls are weeping as they finish sixth grade, knowing their education is over. Under Taliban rule, they are unlikely to ever step foot in a classroom again.

    I guess it’s more male access to a woman’s abortion…I don’t think that counts. That’s worse than the US.

    Birth control can fail, so it’s not necessarily a “choice” to get pregnant or not.

    And no sex outside marriage just sounds dystopian…

      Children born out of wedlock with no guarantee to housing or healthcare or financial aid, not even a free amublance for their birthing mother, is more dystopian to me

        Yeah, that’s pretty dystopian too.

        I guess we can agree that both the US and Saudi Arabia have dystopian aspects and treat women poorly? Also the US treats children poorly?

          Saudi Arabia is not perfect but it’s a reflection of the culture. Though we do have stricter marriage age laws with a minimum age of 18.
