Taliban execute woman accused of adultery. "Violence against women has increased sharply in the past year, according to Afghanistan’s independent human rights commission." Isn't it great that men don't suffer violence and executions in Afghanistan? /s

but men are rarely - if ever - punished because of their gender.

Utter BS, men are victimised because of their sex in Afghanistan, just like everywhere else in the world. Conscription and impressment are perhaps the most obvious examples, but listen to what Syrian people have told us: the men are executed, and they leave the women alone (by and large). Ever wondered why there are hardly any men among the refugees in war-stricken areas? They're killed, while the women and children are left alive.

Women are executed in Afganistan (and other countries that adopt similar views) because they've been raped, been widowed or had sex before marriage, while the man/men generally walk away unpunished.

Proof for this?

I recall a couple of months ago, there was a video on YT of an Afghan woman being executed by the Taliban for having extramarital sex. Huge outrage! And rightly so.

Minutes later, in the same video, a young man is executed by the same Talibans at the same site. He was her lover, they were the ones having an extramarital affair executed for that same reason. No-one mentioned it, the vast majority of the viewer hadn't even noticed.

Remember the Blue Bra-woman in Egypt? A woman was relatively mildly beaten by cops, next to her men were beaten more severely. Outrage! They beat a woman.

Etc...

So, I want to see some proof that men aren't executed for adultery and for being raped, having sex outside of marriage.

Additionally, have you seen "Love crimes of Kabul"? It's a documentary about female prisoners in Kabul, imprisoned for "love crimes", for each woman tried a man was tried (her lover) and for each woman incarcerated a man was incarcerated (her lover), but this was simply ignored. So I have no reason to believe what media tells me about men not suffering these consequences. Because the media is biased. Look at Fox, we are quick to call out their conservative bias, but no-one seems to notice how the media is extremely gynocentric.
