My point wasn't that female soldiers caused the ANA to fail, it's that they didn't actually turn out to be any better than their male counterparts. Certainly, far from going on gung-ho female revenge fantasies as described by the Redditors in the linked image above, they've pretty much just fled the country or else resigned themselves to restored Taliban rule and are scared shitless (no castor oil needed).

Suffice to say that any fantasy that female Afghan troops would've been a cut above the males b/c 'girl power' or even would just fight harder because they know the Taliban would put them back in burkas if they were ever defeated have proven to be as fantastical and lacking grounding in reality as everything else the Western liberal world order's been saying about Afghanistan.

That said, I think there's a case that can be made as to feminism in general hurting Coalition efforts to win in Afghanistan. The 10% desired quota for female soldiers is mentioned in that thread, alongside crazy shit like quotas for women in the Afghan parliament (resulting in there being craploads of female MPs 'representing' districts they had never even been to), tying aid money to attaining a gender balance in each local government, etc. And this stuff kept going on even after trying to force feminism on Afghan society and 'smashing the Afghan patriarchy' was noted by the USgov itself to have literally sparked revolts among the Afghans & proven utterly detrimental to peace efforts.

Maybe because every single thing the west did was a waste of time and money at best and a pollution of God's earth at worst.
