A news reporter did a story on gender roles in Kuwait several years before the Gulf War. She noted then that women customarily walk about 10 feet behind their husbands. She returned to Kuwait recently and noticed that men now walk several feet behind their wives.
The reporter approached one of the women and asked, "This is marvelous. Can you tell the free world just what enabled women here a reversal of roles"
The Kuwaiti woman looked at the reporter and responded, "Land mines"

Some of us have obviously been underestimating women's usefulness.

See, the latter could give you a better "view" as well... with or without landmines.

What about bikinis? Or wouldn't that go against your idea of womens self respect? Do you prefer your women covered up and modest, or sexy and revealing?

No, that was sloshed women. Bikinis are cool and always welcomed. 

Cool short story by John Updike about working in a supermarket and in walks a girl in a bikini. Very short and worth the read: http://www.tiger-town.com/whatnot/updike/. A&P is an American supermarket chain for those outside the States.
