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.

    What matters is that they can’t get education and economic independence, who gives a shit about dress codes

      To me forcing the girls to cover their faces is another shit thing done to them.

        Yes, but it is a very minor shit thing. It is literally just aesthetic and all cultures have dress norms.

          Forcing women to cover themselves up from head to toe is a bit more than just a “dress norm”. Should be able to choose.
