Good. Afghanistan has been hemorrhaging skilled people and capital for decades. Many Afghans who applied for asylum in the West fabricated stories of oppresssion by the Taliban or other groups. Some instances were so ridiculous that even European lawyers had a difficult time believing those claims.

Good news for Russian women.

I see a lot of feminists suggesting that developed countries accept female refugees only. But if we do view the situation through a feminist angle, Afghan females often enable the oppression of other females and are more likely to ally with their aggressive male relatives or mates instead. There was a certain Grauniad article being shared a few days ago, supposedly it was about a divorcée's fear of the Taliban but it also describes how her own mother rejected her over the divorce. If we don't want to import Afghan misogyny then neither gender should be given asylum.
