American journalist goes to Afghanistan in 2000. Everywhere he goes he sees men walking ten feet in front of women. He asks an Afghani guy about it, the guy responds, “this is our culture, where men are superior to women, and that is why they must walk behind us.” Journalist shrugs and goes back to US.
Five years later, in 2005, same journalist goes back to Afghanistan. Everywhere he goes he now sees women walking ten feet IN FRONT of men. Journalist gets really excited, goes to talk to an Afghani guy. “This is an amazing cultural shift, and step toward gender equality!” journalist says. “What prompted this change?”
Afghani guy shrugs. “Landmines”
