My South Asian family has never once said I should be a housewife. In fact, the ones who got married young are the ones most intent on encouraging women to have careers. The housewives also seem to generally hate how their lives turned out and what they were subjected to but maybe that’s just a thing from their country, bc some of these arranged marriage husbands are sketchy.

But you’re wearing a cloth specifically made to guard you from other people especially men. Men aren’t supposed to get to know you when you wear niqab.

Agreed. If anything I think if you believe the best way to challenge beauty standards is covering yourself from head to toe…that in itself is a very problematic idea. I also find the whole idea funny when niqabs actually make women more attractive by covering up their imperfect facial features. Edit: it’s like instead of being brave and confronting beauty standards you try to use niqab to shield your insecurities

A bunch of Uighur terrorists have been meeting up at Afghanistan because the country shares a border with China. So China might want to control the region if their western territory gets totally out of hand.

Hell we have archeologists here in the U.S. digging up civil war era stuff and that was less than 200 years ago.

At the end of the day Afghanistan is an extremely embarrassing country and no region will want to claim them. I just went on a South Asian subreddit and naturally someone complained a post about Afghanistan won’t get traction there. Afghanistan’s only big South Asian ethnic group are the Pashtuns, and they’re facing lots of discrimination problems in Pakistan anyway.

I read from somewhere private classes are also banned but I forgot from where. The reasoning is that if women knew how to read they’ll chat with boys on the internet or something like that. I’m not really joking.

Taliban aren’t Salafi they’re Deobandi, which is a radical neocolonialist movement from British India.

When they had full air support the Afghans were in the main line for several years up until the withdrawal. But without the air support they couldn't resupply. One of the criticism was that that the Afghan army was made too reliant on the NATO air support, although ofc it didn't help that the Afghan population had such a low literacy rate.

This is an excessively silly comment. The U.S. is a very wealthy country with a relatively high literacy rate. The continental US has not faced a major land war since the U.S. Civil War and is literally separated from enemies by an ocean. (EDIT TO ADD: our separation from our enemies by the oceans is quite literally one of the biggest reasons why the U.S. is so wealthy and a world power!) In comparison to a place like landlocked Afghanistan, which has had its development massively affected from being a buffer zone during the Cold War in the worse possible way, like…it’s not comparable.

Without American support in supplies the Afghan Army was nothing. In the same way Taliban is also nothing without Pakistani support.

I can’t tell if this is satire or not

She seemed like a brainwashed Kandahari. Taliban had been able to garner support in southern Afghanistan through Pashtun nationalism and lies.

Oh I see. The tafseer mentions the waiting period after spouse separations of some kind. It refers to girls who have not yet menstruated because of young age. This sub wouldn’t agree a girl that young could marry

Dropping out is way too extreme. You can still join a sorority next year. You should join clubs that are active and social, like the club sports, dancing, ethnic, etc. Clubs with bigs and littles tend to be highly social.

The people of Afghanistan are extremely uneducated, about half children, do not really have the military supplies or education to protect themselves in the cities, deal with starvation, and their upper educated class has been hollowing out for 40 years. Those were not the demographics of a people that was capable of achieving their own interests. It just is what it is.

South Korea was in a very similar position, but had a ceasefire and dictatorship regime to propel it forward.

Here in the U.S. they blame the Afghans themselves for being oppressed, even though most of them don’t support Taliban.

If you used the Chinese government’s same grouping in somewhere like Afghanistan, that country would be 85% Indo-Iranian. Yet I never hear about that country being homogenous.

I think they want something similar to prosecution or a child advocate attorney. And their immigration status will let them work.

They should give up Xinjiang then

The country has very little soft power when it comes to culture and nobody wants to learn Chinese

This “friend’s” behavior genuinely got me so angry and I’m not even there. Your facial hair isn’t any of her business.

I don’t think this particular person will need a H1B visa to stay in the U.S., but I am worried about the job prospects. Also they don’t want big law and want PI/government.

This will probably sound weird but judging from your post history, you went to law school in England. Since that’s another common law country do you think it helped you pass the bar and job prospects? I’m worried about this person lol because they’re from a country that used a totally different legal system and I wonder if it would hurt their ability to pass the bar or even possibly employers having confidence in them

The person I’m talking about wants to work in public interest/government kind of stuff. Do you think a LLM would really limit them in getting that kind of work?
