Islamist propaganda claims that the hijab is empowering for women, when in reality it’s a sort of vaccine passport. You need it to set foot out of the house, creating the illusion of a mobile purdah, a form of ritual segregation.
The Biden administration recently praised the Taliban’s openness to women’s rights.
Meanwhile, the Taliban are going ahead and effectively banning women from taxis unless they wear hijabs.
The Taliban have said women need a hijab — and in some cases a chaperone — to get a taxi ride. Taxi drivers have also been given new moral guidance on how to behave and look.Taliban authorities in Afghanistan on Sunday gave new guidance to taxi drivers, advising them against taking fares from women who do not follow a strict Islamic dress code by wearing the hijab, or Islamic headscarf.
This is a “softer” approach than they’ve taken in the past, but that’s because the Taliban currently want international aid from the Biden administration and other players.
What happens outside Kabul and the NGO sector will likely be another matter. Like Iran, the Taliban are likely to have one set of rules for public areas where foreigners are watching and another set for rural areas where they’re not.
Either way this functionally bars women from getting around unless they have a hijab.

With the raping of any unescorted women between the ages of of 5 to 95 on a public street getting a taxi ride in Afghanistan for any women is a bar set too high for these women mated to these male animals of following the rape monster Mohamad .Just getting enough to eat well protecting their daughters from the Talban while providing all the “Islamic” services ” to their demanding Islamic husbands while we in the west import this virus of Sharia law followers what could go wrong ??

fauci wants biden to mandate jab proof to ride inside the U.S. on airplanes. He said since the proof is necessary for those coming into the country, it’s “reasonable” to require it on domestic flights.
This may be one reason biden and his crew don’t care if women in afghanistan are allowed to ride in taxi’s or not. They want to restrict freedoms too.
There was a report in the “Activist Post” today about truckers not being allowed to deliver food, and farmers not being allowed to provide what they have grown if they are not jabbed as the government wishes. I’m sorry I was not able to find out just where this is happening with the truckers and farmers. Not feeling up to research, just going by the email.
Probably in the country ruled by the taliban, it will soon be a whipping for those who venture out to catch a taxi without the scarf….when the taliban get their funds all lined up and flowing in.

Here’s that story, Somehistory:
“All federally regulated truck drivers to face vaccine mandates in 2022”
https://www.trucknews.com/transportation/all-federally-regulated-truck-drivers-to-face-vaccine-mandates-in-2022/1003155704/
This is going to be imposed January 22. I imagine there will be a lot of pushback–truckers tend to be an independent lot.
Besides everything else, this is apt to wreck havoc with the already disrupted supply chain…

Thanks, g. Yes, it’s only going to get worse. So many things are already difficult to find…such as sinus medicine that actually works.
If they can’t deliver, customers do without and then the farmers and truckers don’t make any money.
so much control of people’s lives, it’s evil.

Yes–I’m increasingly concerned about this.
Jesper says
The hijab IS empowering.
It empowers women to take a cab …
abu taleb says
It is almost the same as what the fascist governments (USA, Austria, etc) do to their unvaccinated citizens. Coincidence that liberal governments do the same as Islamic government? (rhetoric question)
OLD GUY says
What a TAX to be born a female in a muslim/islamic country.
Kepha says
C’mon, man. A proud, third world people has liberated itself from evil imperialism and is reasserting its own authentic culture. Why can’t the Left see this?

Grimly hilarious, Kepha.
