Barbara Walters of Television's 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afganistan, several years before the Afgan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.

Ms. Walters approached one of the Afghani women and asked, "Why do you now seem happy with the old custom that you once tried so desperately to change?
The woman looked Ms. Walters straight in the eyes, and without hesitation, said, "Land mines."

"One feather, one squaw," he replied.
Thinking he must be joking, she asked another brave the same question. This brave had five feathers in his headdress. "Five feathers, five squaws," he replied.
Still not convinced that the number of feathers really indicated the number of squaws involved, Barbara decided to interview the Chief. Now the Chief had a headdress full of feathers which, needless to say, amused her.
