As Biden plans an Afghanistan exit, some hawks say we must stay to improve women's lives. “It's an argument with which I'm deeply sympathetic,” @EmmaMAshford says, but it's “not the reason the U.S. went into Afghanistan. It’s not even the reason we stayed there for 20 years.”

Does anyone find this ironic since some men and women in Congress want to deny equal pay and reproductive rights for women.

Remind me when did the Afghans sign up to be a US/Euro social experiment? Nothing has changed since Vietnam & Rostow's stages of economic growth (and that's being generous).
It's a valid concern. Any women & their families who wish to leave Afghanistan should be evacuated to the USA before the final withdrawal.
