5 steps behind

justleesa · Jul 31, 2006

Just got this from a friend, thought you might get a chuckle:

Barbara Walters of 20/20 did a story on gender roles
in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan
conflict. She noted that the women customarily walked
5 paces behind their husbands.

She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women
still walk behind their husbands. From Ms. 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.

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 women looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes and
without hesitation, said "Land mines."

Moral of the story: Behind every man is a smart woman.
