~Women Who Know Their Place~ ( Plus: today in history, word for the day, todays horoscope, Maxine and 6 differences)

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:  No matter what language you speak or where you go, behind every man there’s a smart woman.
