asperity Posted July 7, 2009 Report Share Posted July 7, 2009 In Afganistan after the initial occupation, a USAID feminist spent several months lecturing the women of a small village on their new found rights, imported American labour-saving kitchen utensils and pregnancy testing kits, and arranged for literacy tutors. Returning to the same village four years on, she was appalled to see the women behaving as she had found them - burka-clad, and following twenty paces behind the men. She harangued the women that she knew at American length, excoriating their subservience. "You're equal" she railed "Why the Hell are you still walking twenty paces behind your husbands?" The answer came softly. "Mines." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
