77. Actually...
women had more rights under the Soviets and their puppet regime than they did either prior to the Soviet invasion or after their retreat. Granted, they were oppressed in the same way every other Afghan was at the time. But at least they weren't forced into the burka. It's a sad fucking day when you might just be better off in a Soviet client state than under the thumb of your own countrymen.
