SandraL Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 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 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 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! Ha Ha Ha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ann Posted May 20, 2009 Share Posted May 20, 2009 I absolutely love this one!!! Thanks for making me smile! All day, I've been thinking that today was Thursday and I was crushed when, about an hour ago, I found out it's only Wednesday. So, I really needed this smile!!!
