Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict.
"But why do you seem happy with the old ways that you once tried to change?"
"Land mines," said the woman.
Perspective is everything.
THE RIGHT PERSPECTIVE
Barbara Walters did a story on gender roles in Kabul several years before the Afghan conflict.
She noted that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their husbands.
She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still walk behind their husbands, but now seem to walk even further back and are now happy with the old custom.
Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked...
"But why do you seem happy with the old ways that you once tried to change?"
"Land mines," said the woman.
Perspective is everything.
