New Taliban laws that prohibit women from speaking or showing their faces outside their homes have been condemned by the UN and met with horror by human rights groups.

The Taliban published a host of new “vice and virtue” laws last week, approved by their supreme leader Hibatullah Akhundzada, which state that women must completely veil their bodies – including their faces – in thick clothing at all times in public to avoid leading men into temptation and vice.

Women’s voices are also deemed to be potential instruments of vice and so will not be allowed to be heard in public under the new restrictions. Women must also not be heard singing or reading aloud, even from inside their houses.

    Not in any way shape or form defending the treatment of women over there. Heck, I’m gay. But boners are completely involuntary?

      Uh… Pretty much, yeah. I mean, you can touch yourself to stimulate an erection, or distract yourself to lose one, but you can’t voluntarily become soft or hard through conscious action like you can raise your arm.

      They are, but most people can survive when they get them. These weak shit stains can’t.

      I’m a guy I know how boners work. I’m specifically using verbiage that paints these losers poorly. People that are insecure enough that they need these policies, also probably aren’t band of being told they have weak little boners.

      Also get that reddit shit out of here. Fuck that place.
