WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE



A point of view ...



Barbara Walters of Television's 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 Kabuland observed that women still walk

behind their husbands. From Miss 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.



Miss 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 Miss 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
