    I’m deeply confused as to why they have any statement…

    And why they think the US is sexist

    And why they seem to selectively think sexism is bad while denying women education

    And why this is news or worthy of print.

    And for gods sakes won’t someone tell me what Ja rule thinks of this???

      That’s not what they’re saying. They’re mocking American hypocrisy.

          I don’t necessarily disagree. But I don’t exactly consider Latintimes as mainstream news. They have a decided lean to the left and are publishing a story that points to something they want to say. No different than when a conservative right leaning website with a name like “Patriot Page”, or “Freedom Force” or some other creepy MAGA bullshit name does the same thing.

          There are main stream outlets, and then there are outlets that we can all tell, mostly from their content, don’t bother to hide their bent left or right.

          This isn’t like CNN or CBS or BBC are broadcasting it. (Cue somebody linking to exactly that…making me look like an idiot.) Heck, AFAIK, even Fox News and MSNBC, the two “main stream media” sources that I would consider least biased in both directions, aren’t touching it as a story.

      I read it as a troll statement. Americans moralize to the world about treating women equally, but Americans also don’t want a woman in a position of power, so I read it as the Taliban mocking the u.s for being just like them while being hypocrites
