WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE....... it's all in a point of view !!!!!
Barbara Walters (of 20/20 magazine), wrote a story on gender roles in Kabul Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She had observed that women customarily walked five paces behind their husbands - a custom that the women of that country were challenging - saying that the custom was antiquated and demeaning.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that nothing had changed - women still walk behind their husbands and despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women were happy to and vigorously maintain this old custom.
Ms. Walters (intrigued by this) approached a group of Afghani women and asked, "Can I ask why you are still happy to continue with an old custom that you once tried so desperately to change"?
With this, the women all replied together - without hesitation and proclaimed:
"Land Mines".
Quicker and more efficient than divorce I reckon.
