Women Who Know Their Place
WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR PLACE Barbara Walters, of 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. Despite the overthrow of the
oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem 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
eyes, and without hesitation said, 'Land mines.' Moral of the story is
(no matter what language you speak or where you go): BEHIND EVERY MAN,
THERE'S A SMART WOMAN
