A small group of Afghan women risked their safety on Tuesday to test the Taliban's promise to respect women’s rights: They stood holding signs demanding the right to work and go to school mere feet from armed Taliban fighters.https://nyti.ms/3xUvonD

Training the men was futile. Their lives are not in danger (mostly). These women are brave.

It would have been interesting to see how a division of well trained Afghan women would have held up on the battlefield. Obviously they couldn't have done worse than occurred, and they might have made a big difference. Too late now obviously...

It is an imperialist humanitarianism which decries the state of women while pronouncing (black & brown) men and boys unworthy of empathy, support & advocacy. These men, victims of wars& criminals both foreign and domestic, exist only as threats, never human & thus are disposable

It's not that anyone is disposable. Who had the most to lose from a Taliban takeover? Women (and girls) in Afghanistan. Perhaps arming and training those folks specifically, who had the most at risk, could have produced a different outcome. Perhaps not. We'll never know.
