True!
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 five paces behind
their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still
walk behind their husbands. Despite the overthrow of the
oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem
happy to maintain the old custom.
Ms Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked,
'Why do you now seem happy with an 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 is (no matter where you go):
BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART WOMAN
