In 1919, King Amanullah Khan & Queen Soraya drafted a constitution giving Afghan women the vote before Europe or America. Britain crushed it. Instead of progress, Afghanistan got the Taliban. The world would have been a better place.

@Mariamistan Reforms endure if coming from bottom up, not imposed from top to down. Afgan women must understand that their biggest oppressor is Afghan men, not some alien force. Taliban simply represents this oppressive misogynist patriarchy.
