Subject: Barbara Walters filed a report on gender



Barbara Walters filed a report on gender roles in
Kuwait a few years prior to the Gulf War, and noted
then that, in traditional Islamic fashion, women
customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.

Recently, Barbara returned to Kuwait and observed that
the MEN now walked several yards behind their wives.
She approached one of the Kuwaiti women for an
explanation.

"This is marvelous," Barbara said. "What enabled women
here to achieve this reversal of roles?"

The Kuwaiti woman replied, "Land mines."
