Martina Navratilova made her feelings known about the Taliban's controversial 'eye' restriction on Afghan women. The former tennis player has previously issued various remarks on the Taliban's several rules for women.A video has been circulating on X, where a Taliban leader issued a statement ordering that Afghan women will only be allowed to see with one eye, forcing them to cover the other one under their burqa. However, this rule hasn't come into effect as of now, but still reflects the strict dress code regulations being imposed on Afghan women.The video of a Taliban leader talking about these rules was shared by a user on X, who, expressing their dismay over it, wrote:"I’m starting to believe that if the Taliban decreed that all women and girls were to be chained to an iron ring in the wall beside a bucket, fed a bit of rice once a day, and allowed to wash once a month, the West would just heave a collective shrug. Yeah well it’s their culture innit. #GlobalMisogyny."Bev Jackson @BevJacksonAuthLINKI’m starting to believe that if the Taliban decreed that all women and girls were to be chained to an iron ring in the wall beside a bucket, fed a bit of rice once a day, and allowed to wash once a month, the West would just heave a collective shrug.
