Men Verse Women

Women who know their place............

Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 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. Walter's vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back 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 Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation said,

"Land mines."

BEHIND EVERY MAN IS A SMART WOMAN

Just thought i'd keep the fires of controversy burning until Mrs Swordie organises a "Battle of the Sexs" fishing comp !

Bring it on!

You men would have nothing to eat if the women didn't catch the best fish for you.

Feel lucky that we let you clean them.

P.S. We do let you catch more than us to keep you interested.
