Okay, did you think I meant "plants" as in literal, growing plants that produce seeds? I was asking if you thought they were planted there. I think that's what originally triggered you to fly into a rage at me asking some simple questions and stating some facts and opinions. You also did not share the footage you believe to be fabricated, which I think would be supremely helpful in proving your case and highly informative to everyone here.

The Taliban have officially denied that anyone is being enslaved

Yes, I'm sure they would never ever lie about something like that.

many people in Afghanistan still suffer PTSD from the atrocities they endured under the former government and from occupying USian soldiers

Yep. We needed to change our tactics. What we did there sucked ass and we never should have been there in the first place, but the solution isn't just to dip and let the Taliban take over.

You would definitely have been duped by the Nayirah testimony too, if you would have even cared to pay attention to some small Middle Eastern country you couldn't even locate on a map.

So now I'm an idiot for not knowing about something that happened before I was born in "some small Middle Eastern country".

This is almost non-existent in some Middle Eastern countries.

Yes, some. In others, it is very prevalent, including Afghanistan, which is what we have been talking about.

Are you perhaps confusing the Middle East with South Asia?

No.

Forced marriages occur in Africa too, and in the Americas.

Yes, but to a lesser extent. The country with the highest proportional number of cases of child brides aged below 15 is Bangladesh. Also, I think you may be looking at arranged marriage statistics, which is different from forced marriage.

There are countries in the Middle East that are much safer and offer more comprehensive rights for women that are actually enforced.

Quote where I said "every single country in the Middle East is a complete hellhole and none of them have any rights for women".

femicide is deeply underreported in Central America

I know. The question is, why would you even bring up those statistics at all if you were just going to admit they're flawed?

I am tired of your idiocy so I will pass you back to your special needs attendant.

Does it make you feel better to talk down to me?
