Whilst Western fake feminists continue their preoccupation with transgender women, genuine feminists in Afghanistan are paid tribute by famous dissident broadcaster Radio Free Europe, which transmits free media and journalism into countries where there is no such tradition. Radio Free Europe says that womens shelters have been surviving underground in the country, and that even before the takeover by the Taliban in 2021, places of refuge were few and far between in a country that shuns divorce and expects women to stay with male abusers, even if their lives are endangered.
