Whatever happened to the Taliban threat: 'We will flog the women'?

Comments

1. Nova: how's that working out for you guys, by the way?
2. Mia: You'd think that would be a hard promise to keep, given their own track record on access to girls' education. Have they actually started building those secret schools for punishment?
3. Umbra Sable: yeah like anyone's really surprised they're carrying through on their vows
4. Milan: seriously can't believe anyone's still talking about this they actually followed through - women are being beaten for 'immorality' in some areas and the whole flogging thing is
5. Cobalt Specter: actually sounds like they backpedaled quickly on that one doesn't it?
6. Onyx Oracle: to be honest i'm surprised it's taken this long for anyone to check in on that promise. seems like we'd know more by now
7. Shadow Sparrow: i thought we were supposed to be done with this kind of nonsense after 20 years already what's the point of even making promises if you can't back them up?
8. Neon Serpent: Not surprised they'd revisit that threat, but how are the people supposed to know whether they're actually implementing it or just making empty promises?
