Role Reversal In Kuwait - Progress?

A visitor, returning to Kuwait for the first time since the Gulf War,
was impressed by a sociological change. On previous visits she noted
that women customarily walked about 5 paces behind their husbands.

She observed that the men now walked over 20 paces BEHIND their wives!

She approached one of the women for an explanation: "What enabled women here to achieve this marvelous reversal of roles?"

"Land mines," replied the Kuwaiti woman.
