[QUOTE="El Correcto, post: 4993173, member: 60631"] “The Taliban have said they're committed to women's rights, and are not against women being educated or having jobs. But since they seized control on 15 August, they have asked all women, except those in the public health sector, to stay away from work, until the security situation improves. Security was one of the reasons the group gave when they were in power in the 1990s to prevent women from working, and many like Sara fear this time will be no different. She used to work as an adviser in a government department, and also ran her own business. She says her family fears for her life. "They tell me not to go for protests. They [the Taliban] will kill you. I fought with my brother to attend the march on Wednesday. It's important that we raise our voice. I'm not scared. I will keep going again and again and again, until they kill us. It is better to die once than die gradually." This is what a true feminist is, someone I can support in their protest. The same people the radical left have condemned to death under an oppressive regime. She isn’t out there marching because wah wah I can’t kill a baby with a heart beat. She is out there fighting for equality under law, something women have in the United States. [/QUOTE]
