A Taliban official says women lose value if their faces are visible to men in public, and that the only way to wear the hijab, or the Islamic headscarf, is if the face is hidden.

Women lose value if men can see their uncovered faces in public, a spokesman for a key ministry of Afghanistan’s Taliban government said Thursday, adding that religious scholars in the country agree that a woman must keep her face covered when outside the home.

    A woman has her own value and that value decreases by men looking at her.

    I didn’t know men had that kind of super power. The ability to decrease value of something just by looking at it. Can we harness this power to decrease home prices?

      In white suburbs you only need a bus load of ethnic minorities. Prices drop instantly and they don’t even need to stare full time.
