Keep in mind this episode was recorded right after the Taliban entered Kabul. It is not an episode designed to make you feel warm and fuzzy about American interventions or about how women are treated in the United States or Afghanistan. We are aware its easier to be a woman in the Untied States but the idea that the United States was going to fix all the things is absurd.

Because...at the end of the day...there's no such thing as Imperialist Feminism
