The people living in afghanistan are the ones being victimized by the taliban. They do have supporters obviously, but to say that all men living in afghanistan are okay with what's happening is ridiculous.
If America was violently overtaken by gun-toting religious maniacs, would it be fair to say "Oh well some of them voted for it! Their fault!"
@storksforlegs @raccoona_nongrata That’s essentially what a lot of people elsewhere in the US say about those of us who live in states run by gun-toting religious maniacs. (For the record, about 40% of us did not vote for this.)
