BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN
Barbara Walters of 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul,
Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind
their husbands.
From Ms. Walters' vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive
Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind
their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you
now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to
change?"
The woman looked Ms. Walters ! straight in the eyes and without
hesitation, said "Land mines."
MORAL OF THE STORY: BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN!!
