"scan the headlines" Yeah that's your problem right there. You're scanning headlines, not actually reading or trying to understand the situation or the facts on the ground. Also, you didn't care about Afghan women or pay attention to them a month ago until you needed them to be a prop to win arguments and feel better about yourself as a taxpayer who has been funding their murder for the past 20 years. A week from now you'll go back to not caring about them or any women in any other country that are suffering from sanctions, bombings, etc. There were women (young girls in fact) who were in the car that the US military just hit with a drone strike. Where are your crocodile tears abou them?
