Barbara Walters (20/20) did a story on gender roles:

In Kabul several years ago before the Afghan
conflict. She highlighted how women objected to the custom of having
to walk about 5 paces behind their husbands.

She returned to Kabul recently and observed that women still walked behind their husbands, walked even further back, and appeared pleased with the custom.

Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghan women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with this old custom that you tried so hard to change?"

"Land mines." answered the Afghan woman.
