Does anyone else find it extremely cringe that people are actually using Women's Rights and Feminism to justify US Imperialism?

American troops were not in Afghanistan for political sophistication.

U just want war. Admit it

We just tolerated twenty years of systematic violence. Time for it to stop.

I really think you have your heart in the right place but are absolutely wrong about how to help. Please use your platform to advocate that the US take as many refugees from Afghanistan as possible.

In the name of DEMOCRACY and FREEDOM we must save these people
