Women Who Know their Place

This is for all of those who are anxious feminist! Maybe you should reconsider your stance.

A famous newscaster 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 to, and are happy to, maintain the old custom.

The newscaster 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 her straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said, 'Land Mines.'

NOTE: This story is representative of the types of stories told by a certain preacher I know......and NO, it didn't really happen. It's just funny! The same way the stories he tells aren't true....well certain aspects aren't......the aspects that really give the WOW factor, anyway. And the crowd continues to OOOHHH and AAAWWWHHH anyway.....regardless of the truth. And the altars are full (well, maybe that's a little exaggeration)
