#1 ...and forbidding young boys from wearing female fashions.

I'll bet that one broke their hearts.

#2 It's a draft in committee. As far as I can tell, there is a substantial segment of the Afghan population that is very conservative, and so they will continue to propose this kind of thing. However, I'm not going to worry much about it unless it gets passed by both chambers of the parliament and signed by President Karzai, which I can't imagine is likely.
