Women's rights

In scanning news stories about Afghanistan and why the troops capitulated so quickly, no one mentions the fact that perhaps these men did not believe in women's rights, that many of them preferred having women under their thumbs. While some Muslim countries like Indonesia are making slow progress toward women's rights, most of the so called Sand Arab Muslims lag behind. While all Muslim countries maintain the idea of four wives many have agreed to allow girls in school. Where the Taliban will fall on the spectrum of women's rights remains to be seen but things look a little grim as of now.
