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 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk
behind their husbands. From Ms. Walter's 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.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do
you now seem happy with the 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: Behind every man is a smart woman.

It is amazing how different cultures view the world. For this woman, it is survival. But it is a smart woman in this case isn't it?
