Oh, and yes, you’re right, I’m more comfortable having myself decide (say) how the Afghan government should treat women than I am having the Taliban decide how the Afghan government should treat women. That’s not because I’m a hypocrite unjustly trying to impose my own arbitrary and frivolous personal preferences on the Taliban, that’s because the effects on women of the way the Taliban would like the Afghan government to treat women are not morally equivalent to effects on women of the way I would like the Afghan government to treat women.
