A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Iraq several years before the War, and she noted then that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.
She returned to Iraq recently and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives.
She approached one of the women for an explanation. “This is marvelous,” said the journalist. “What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?”
Replied the Iraqi woman, “Land mines”
