Stop using girls and women as political props

You know who you’ve never heard a peep about in the last 20 years? How well the women and girls were doing. Now, it’s a ubiquitous talking point. If I were a cynical man, I’d think this was a political strategy. Do it for the women, do it for the girls. Afghanistan never became 60s Tehran in the last 20 years. This feels like a gambit. Color me suspicious.
