Barbara Walters of Television’s 20/20 did a story on gender roles in Kabul, Afghanistan, several years before the Afghan conflict. She noted that women customarily walked 5 paces behind their husbands.
She recently returned to Kabul and observed that women still walk behind their husbands.
From Ms. Walter’s vantage point, despite the overthrow of the oppressive Taliban regime, the women now seem to walk even further back behind their husbands and are happy to maintain the old custom.
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.”

My husband is smarter and stronger than me. In order to balance this I offer blowjobs and cold beer when ever he needs it which is pretty often. Take head girls the happier your guy is, the happier you are so start polishing the knob more.

Sonia, I have approved your comment for one reason and one reason alone. The reason is that I find it so very sad that you can not find happiness within yourself but rather put the onus on another human never mind your husband. The fact that you feel so subservient saddens me beyond words, you will never know true happiness as long as you are bowing down to your husband. In fact to me that is emotional rape. All of the best to you, I hope that one day you will find true happiness other than that of in his pants.
