KUWAIT COURAGE.

KUWAIT

Barbara Walters had done a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years
before the Gulf War, noting then that women customarily walked about 10
feet behind their husbands.
Recently she returned to Kuwait and observed that the men now walked
several yards behind their wives.
Ms. Walters approached one of the women for an explanation. This is
marvelous, she said.What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of
roles?
The Kuwaiti woman replied, Land mines.
