Taking into account the rights of women doesn't constitute a high horse. But I'm sure this one warlord defies all logic and experience in that country and his 4 young wives love him very much and the CIA only gives Viagra to warlords who undergo a psychological process and have reliable character witnesses.

Women in Afghanistan have almost no agency. They have almost zero political power and even fewer options personally. I'm not sure why you think, given their overall situation, four young women would choose this old man as a husband, as opposed to being forced to have sexual relations with him.

If you can't understand that, then I doubt this conversation can go much further.

As opposed to four women who love him very much...

In your opinion, IggyKoopa. But I think you missed my point, way up there on your high horse.

To address your stereotypical views, though, how do you know that Afghan warlord has a harem?

I too am wondering if giving guaranteed sexual preparedness to 'warlords' is the best idea. Especially in countries where womens' rights are in the negative.

I think keeping harems is pretty much the definition of non-consensual sex.

IggyKoopa, you're presuming that Afghan warlords are having non-consensual heterosexual sex.

Man, it's totally hilarious that the US government is doing its part to make sure Afghan warlords can continue to rape women and girls.

Maybe Viagra can put and end to human-nose poaching.
