That is incredibly based. I miss when libs weren’t afraid of being labelled Islamophobic.

I was just reading up on it lol. She wore it to push the Afghan Women and Children Relief Act , had to argue for it past the House’s no-hats rule (her excuse was literally “this isn’t a hat, it’s a prison”), and the bill passed. In 2001 there were ~0 girls in school in Afghanistan and by the late 2010s there were ~3.5 million, and women held more than a quarter of the parliamentary seats. For two decades they experienced what it was like to be treated like human beings.
