It's an evil, medieval superstition that should be eradicated from this planet. I saw on the news yesterday that the talibans have outlawed windows facing areas where women move or perform work. The reason is that it can create thoughts of sin in men.

Well so it can. The Islamic system of keeping men and women completely apart and ignorant until safely married and regarding all men as incapable of suppressing their urges works at the level of the society it exists in.
It just doesn't gel well with the Western lifestyle, which allows lots of sex before, during, in and out of marriage, because fundamentally we have antibiotics, birth control pills and condoms etc.
