I don't have anything good to contribute about Afghanistan. Way to take away even the little freedom these ladies have from day to day, you assholes. What's next, just tying them up in a corner and undoing the knots only when they need something done? I wish to Dog there was anything that we could do to change this bullshit.

@Hooplehead: And that was before I read about the rape epidemic in the Congo. For the fuck of shit, people, what the hell is wrong with you? Humanity is an epic fail today.

Interestingly enough, back in March the Guardian was also the first publication to break the marital rape law news, and it took a few days for most publications to catch up to them, prompting country leaders to react, and forcing Karzai's people to bury the laws.
Hopefully, this time will be no exception.

To borrow a phrase from other Jezzies, for the fuck of shit. Afghanistan lawmakers are just bent on keeping women in fear, aren't they? It's like, "Well, TECHNICALLY we overturned the marital rape laws..." No. Exactly the same as before.

The worst part is that Western powers probably can't do much, if anything, to get these new laws repealed.

@Rosa Scandalosa: The worst part is that there is a culture allows men to exchange food for sex, and when that fails or gets boring, use rape; that laws were enacted to protect such a culture; and that women have very few avenues in which to change such a law within such a deeply misogynistic culture. (Note: I'm not exclusively talking about Afghanistan by any means.)

Western powers not being able to repeal laws of a sovereign nation is not the worst part.
