The Taliban has extended its strict rules to Afghan men, mandating beard lengths and prohibiting Western clothing and hairstyles. Previously, urban men enjoyed relative freedom under Taliban rule, but new restrictions have shocked many. Morality police now patrol cities, penalizing men for short beards or allowing women to ride alone in taxis. Some men regret not speaking up earlier in defense of women’s rights. Others, including former Taliban supporters, are now considering fleeing Afghanistan as the regime enforces stricter religious codes on men and women alike.
