Gender roles

Afghan men strongly oppose giving women more freedom they think they have too much already  . there is a wide range of standards set for accepted female behavior, Religious teachings against women’s rights under the Taliban regime had also played a role in hardening views among younger men,  as well as differences in male attitudes toward correct treatment of women. Contradictions arise between traditional customary practices, many of which impinge on the rights of women and are alien to the spirit of Islam, the other functioning canon which emphasizes equality, justice, education and community service for both men and women. Further, the dictates of Islam are themselves subject to diverse interpretation among reformists, Islamists and ultraconservatives. the position of women in Afghanistan was among the worst in the world.  Many men participate in the maintenance of unjust gender relations and sexist practices, becoming gatekeepers of the gender order and using social constructions of masculinity and male identity to justify it.
