Those 20 million women have been terrified already because we were there. It may surprise you that many women throughout the world do not define their liberation through the lens of Western feminist standards. It surprised me. We may not be the liberators you think we are.

Wait, 20 yrs of bombing civilians failed? Damn, who’d have thunk it!

They have been terrorized by the US for the past 20+ years, where have you been? Where was your sympathy and horror last year? Each US drone strike killed women, why didn't you care last year?

What I can't understand is why 20 million women will not plot and execute an armed resistance against 50,-100,000 Taliban. Fight dammit! The Kurdish women fight for their freedom. Fight!

We did nothing to help women in Afghanistan. The Pentagon papers show that everything was a lie.

If you validate that talking point war machine can use that endlessly to invade hundreds more countries to save some women

Because we were hurting women there too. That’s what you don’t seem to grasp. Our allies and our forces were hurting women and little boys. pbs.org/wgbh/frontline/artic…

Should’ve never been there in the first place. My objection is the haphazard way we bailed. We’ve got a legacy of using people when it’s expedient and leaving then to whatever godforsaken consequence when we’re over it. Reprehensible

Because that's racist imperialist propaganda that 20 million women are in danger now because we stopped bombing and stealing resources from afghanistan.

In this country we mistreat women, abuse and take them for granted every single day. Just because it’s worse somewhere else doesn’t mean we couldn’t be more effective in respecting and honoring women in the US. We should set the standard.
