Barbara Walters of 20/20 (USA-ABC Television)
did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan,
several years before the Afghan 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.
Walters'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.
>
> 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 woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the
eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land mines."

LOL Now that's a smart woman!!!
