Title: Another Saturday morning tidbit.

WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE 
 

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 Kabul  and 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.'
