​"Throw reason to the dogs..": Gender Apartheid and the Erasure of Afghan Women, pt.3

​"Throw reason to the dogs..": Gender Apartheid and the Erasure of Afghan Women, pt.3

Was the 20-year U.S. occupation a humanitarian rescue mission for women, or was it just a lie to push an agenda of military interventionIn? Hint: Embedded Feminism. In part 3, we look at the 2001 US invasion up through the 2021 fall of Kabul...contrasting the lives of rural women surviving drone strikes in Helmand and Wardak with urban women fighting for education and aid in Kabul. We also examine the reality of "ghost soldiers," NGO failures, and the story of Rukhshana.

In this episode:

  • The urban vs. rural divide under U.S. occupation
  • The hypocrisy of “Operation Enduring Freedom”
  • ANA (Afghan National Army) & warlord factions
  • Taliban resurgence
  • The collapse of Western-backed NGOs post-2021
