The situation in Afghanistan symbolizes everything that’s wrong with Western, victimhood-based feminism. No one who wore pink pussy hats for 4 years and claimed oppression under Trump is marching in the streets this weekend after the leader they supported abandoned Afghan women.
Conservatives know what true oppression looks like and don’t waste our time and privilege claiming it here. We know that thousands of Afghan women would do anything to come here, and will speak up when our president cruelly abandons them with no time to plan.
America can’t be the world’s police and many of the human rights abuses they face will have to be solved there, but I refuse to accept the idea that we had “no choice” but to leave them so desperate as to throw children over walls and be rounded up to be terrorists’ third wives.
If the situation in Afghanistan weren’t so chaotic, countless women would’ve have time to plan and safely escape. For 20 years we told them we had their backs, and are now nowhere to be found. Bottom line.
