I was posting only in response to Steven's apparent contention that the women of Afghanistan are like he believes women here are. That is, desiring of the feminist place in society and so victimized by the Taleban. No doubt there are IMO a very small contention of women still remaining in Afghanistan that would be so inclined. Brees, I make no claims of familiarity with Afghani culture. I don't even know any expats. Despite my fondness for their restaurants, I can't say that I've ever had a real conversation with one. I have no reason to think that Afghanistan has feminists like we have feminists. Having acknowledged that I'm working without any specific information, I find it very implausible that any people who are used to going to school and getting an education would be happy to have that abruptly denied to them. We know from US history what an forbidden attraction schooling was for slaves. I can't believe that Afghani women and girls would have less of a desire to learn. Afghani women may be content with their domestic lives, but they can't be any too happy about the denial of schooling. I also doubt they would be pleased with the opportunity to do without the creature comforts that they had pre-Taliban. Karen
