A journalist had done a story on gender¹ roles in Kuwait several years before the Gulf² War, and she noted³ then that women customarily walked about 10 feet behind their husbands.

She returned to Kuwait recently and observed that the men now walked several yards behind their wives. She approached one of the women for an explanation.

"This is marvelous," said the journalist."What enabled women here to achieve this reversal of roles?"

Replied the Kuwaiti woman: "Landmines⁴."
