Those barbaric bastards are at it again. Ignorance & arrogance can be a deadly combination. Imo this type of intrusive control is nothing short of evil.
If it was up to me, those men in every country which insists on this would themselves be made subject to precisely the same controlling conditions now imposed on women for at least 3 years, while women are given the freedoms men there now enjoy.
Perhaps Afghanistan & America are not so very different.

The Taliban has issued yet another decree imposing further restrictions on Afghan women, and criminalising their clothing.
While the Taliban have always imposed restrictions to govern the bodies of Afghan women, the decree is the first for this regime where criminal punishment is assigned for violation of the dress code for women.
ÔÇ£If a woman is caught without a hijab, her mahram (a male guardian) will be warned. The second time, the guardian will be summoned [by Taliban officials], and after repeated summons, her guardian will be imprisoned for three days,ÔÇØ according to the statement.
Akif Muhajir, a spokesman for the ministry, said that government employees who violate the hijab rule will be fired.
And male guardians found guilty of repeated offences ÔÇ£will be sent to the court for further punishmentÔÇØ, he said.
She evaded arrest during a Taliban crackdown on female protestors in February. Later, Khamosh confronted Taliban leaders at a conference in Norway, demanding that they release her fellow female protestors held in Kabul.
ÔÇ£Twenty years [of gains made by Afghan women] is not insignificant progress to lose overnight. We won this on our own might, fighting the patriarchal society, and no one can remove us from the community.ÔÇØ
The activists also said they had predicted the current developments in Afghanistan, and placed equal blame on the international community for not recognising the urgency of the situation."
