Way back in the late 60s I was in the Peace Corps training to go to Afghanistan, we were taught that the modern young women of Kabul often wore sunglasses as a sort of veil. This was under the rule of Mohammed Zahir Shah. We were told in no uncertain terms that talking to an Afghan woman could get us killed. By the way, if you don’t know, Afghan women can be very attractive.
We were also taught that the biggest problem would face would be from the mullahs, who were determined to keep Afghanistan in the 7th century.
When did your conversion happen?
“...talking to an Afghan woman could get us killed...”
Talking to certain attractive Alabama woman can get me killed...by my wife!
