WOMEN WALK 5 PACES BEHIND THEIR HUSBANDS
WOMEN WALK 5 PACES BEHIND THEIR HUSBANDS
Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 did a story on gender roles
in Kabul, Afganistan, several years before the Afgan 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.
Mr 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."
(Behind every man is a smart woman).
funny...
*then corrects himself and then reflects deeply*
Sigh! the things we men have to do for women...
"they were pictures of 2 women wearing dresses. they looked like maybe
they were made of plastic, or something unusual for dresses anyways."

Can't believe Mrs. Withnail is about to deliver! Don't even know you guys but it seems like that went my fast. Best wishes.
