All of this handwringing is pretty fucking stupid and pointless. You can't get women's rights at gunpoint. 2 trillion dollars didn't buy it. The biggest military in the world didn't secure it. You can lament the regression of rights for women, but for fucks sake it was bought at the expense of hundreds of thousands of lives and bombs. How is that good for women????
I wish the Soviet-backed govt had survived, I really do, but the world we live in now means the Taliban is the most legitimate ruler of that nation until material conditions change.
You can get rights, including women's rights, at gunpoint, but who's holding the gun is very important. Imperialists just trying to enrich themselves and dominate clearly never actually gave a shit. Socialists with guns have repeatedly improved women's rights and their societal/economic standing, forcing it onto patriarchal societies.
