Traditional Roles

Several years before the Gulf War, a female journalist did a story on gender roles in Kuwait. She noted that there it was customary for women to walk 10 feet behind their husbands.

After the war, she returned to Kuwait and was pleased to observe that now the men walked 10 feet behind their wives. She approached a woman at the airport and asked, "What enabled Kuwaiti women to achieve this role reversal?"

The Kuwaiti woman replied, "Land mines."

If taken seriously, this is upsetting. If taken as unreal and with an at ease attitude, I find it quite humurous, but not necessarily true.

First off, this is not a joke and should not even be considered funny! It doesn't belong in this classification at all! Secondly it's sad to see that countries are not civilized enough to show respect not only of their "own" kind - but for mankind in general. Unfortunately, here in the USA many people come from other countries grasping for the freedoms that we have obtained, yet some (no - not all), think they can bring their sadistic rituals with them.
And one note - to The Babe: sounds to me like you don't have any respect either! Neil Armstrong would be ashamed of you! "Mankind" does not refer to gender, but that of HUMAN beings. You must really hate women!

Guessed it.
Yes Anna it is distasteful but I hope you stand up against jokes that are sexist against men as well. I assure you there are plenty of them. In fact, the feminist movement has swung the pendulum such that sexism against women tends to be considered an outrage while sexism against men barely raises an eyebrow (except when I see it!!!).
