| Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before our involvement in 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 eye and, without hesitation, said, "Land mines."
No matter what language you speak or where you go, the moral of this story is always . . .
BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A REALLY SMART WOMAN. _________________   ~The dog is a gentleman! I hope to go to his heaven, not man's~ |
