Fwd: A woman's place...

[aries shankar]

 

A woman's  place......   WOMEN WHO KNOW THEIR  PLACE 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 is (no matter what language you  speak or where you go):   BEHIND EVERY MAN, THERE'S A SMART  WOMAN
