Wikileaks - Remember the CIA urged America to exaggerate the impact on women in Afghanistan to Keep Western Europe allies fighting in their war in Afghanistan - "Media events that feature testimonials by Afghan women would probably be most effective if broadcast on women's programs" (file.wikileaks.org)

Because women are more driven by emotions than facts. That's why they vote for dems, because feels.

They voted dem and now I can not care when they get raped by the taliban. They voted for it.

You can't leave out the white knight factor. Men are powerfully driven to protect women, and feminism takes full advantage of that.

Over the past year or two I've come to see this a bit differently.

I think it's rather the opposite.

Women tend more towards fact, while men tend more towards emotion.

This sounds backwards until you realize that what women consider "true" is predicated almost entirely by social hierarchies. You'll never sway a woman with emotion because that is where they naturally dwell. You can only sway them with an imposed truth, aka a form of domination.

For a man, it's the exact opposite. Even if all the forces of the world come together to say his truth is wrong, if he doesn't feel that it is he'll fight against that imposition.

This is also why modern men are so pathetic. They've been tricked into giving up their inner spirit in favor of external social authority.

So in essence, women are swayed by the strongest voice's opinion, and men tend to follow their own intuition? Collectivism vs. individualism.

Except, "i have to listen to the imposed truth" is done out of fear while "i have to stand up for what I believe in" is done because of confidence in facts.

This has always been the case. Remember Boko Haram kidnapping the girls and causing an international reaction from women? They were mass slaughtering thousands of boys before that and got zero attention. Our world is gynocentric, white knights and women don’t care about you dying but heaven forbid a third world shit hole doesn’t teach women to read.

Hey I just posted one of those stories.

Woman fleeing Taliban says militants are searching for sex slaves and having sex with dead bodies

I can't say it's not true, but all they go by is the woman's testimony.

The Taliban was right about women.

It's almost like we're biologically wired to protect women in danger -- including women who merely claim to be in danger.

It's almost like this is an incredibly effective tool at manipulating people.

So let me tell you elaborate: this was a video without context, but worse things happened. Like stonings of alleged adulterers. (And for that matter - of alleged gay men.)

It's an Abrahamic religion, and a younger one too.

But here's also a recent misleading story of another video: https://www.reuters.com/article/factcheck-photo-afghan-pilot-idUSL1N2PQ250 (it wasn't a female pilot recently, it's a woman stoned after being falsely accused of burning the Koran back in 2015). Just don't get obsessed over it.
