And all this time I thought...
Barbara Walters <http://www.biography.com/articles/Barbara-Walters-9523127>,
of 20/20, did a story on gender
roles<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gender_role>in Kabul
,
Afghanistan<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.5330555556,69.1661111111&spn=0.1,0.1&q=34.5330555556,69.1661111111%20(Kabul)&t=h>,
several years before the
Afghan<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=34.5166666667,69.1333333333&spn=10.0,10.0&q=34.5166666667,69.1333333333%20(Afghanistan)&t=h>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<http://maps.google.com/maps?ll=33.9333333333,66.1833333333&spn=10.0,10.0&q=33.9333333333,66.1833333333%20(Islamic%20Emirate%20of%20Afghanistan)&t=h>,
the women now seem happy to maintain the old custom. Ms Walters approached
one of the Afghani <http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Afghan_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<http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Land_mine>
."
