                                                                    LIBERATION!!
                      A journalist had done a story on gender roles in Afghanistan under the
                      Taliban, and she noted then that women customarily walked about ten
                      feet behind their husbands.
                      She returned there recently and observed that the men now walked
                      several yards behind their wives. She approached one of the women
                      for an explanation.
                           "This is marvellous," said the journalist. "What enabled women here
                      to achieve this reversal of roles?"
                      Replied the Afghan woman, "Landmines!"
