WALKING 5 PACES BEHIND
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
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 into Ms. Walters' eyes,
and without hesitation, said,
"Land mines."
