WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE

WOMEN WHO KNOW

THEIR PLACE


 



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 to, 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 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 what language you speak or where you
go):

BEHIND  EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART 
WOMAN
