This young woman is trying to make it as a competitive cyclist in Afghanistan not the easiest place to be female let alone one who wants to race bicycles. She's only sixteen but listening to her talking to someone from the BBC, I wish her really well in her life and hobby. She wants to study medicine in Germany.
A very brave young woman

It is more like fundamentalism gives a fig leaf for what a significant number of men would want to do anyway.
It comes down to: If the rule benefits them, hey, they are all for it.
Bad place for a girl, dangerous.
I think Gwen has the right idea, get her out of Kabul.
