It has been the policy of this institution to lament the evil of testosterone poisoning, aka the general dangerousness and unsociability of men.

Well, not always men:

'Mum' had 80 women raped for suicide missions
Article from: Agence France-Presse

A WOMAN suspected of recruiting more than 80 female suicide bombers has confessed to organising their rapes so she could later convince them that martyrdom was the only way to escape the shame.

Samira Jassam, 51, was arrested by Iraqi police and confessed to recruiting the women and orchestrating dozens of attacks.

In a video confession, she explained how she had mentally prepared the women for martyrdom operations, passed them on to terrorists who provided explosives, and then took the bombers to their targets. ...

AFP also repeats an AP story to the effect that "US military figures indicate at least 36 female suicide bombers attempted or carried out 32 attacks last year. Women are often allowed through military checkpoints without being searched, making it easier for them to hide explosives under their traditional robes."

Afterthought: What are the chances that this is just a hoax? One I could believe, maybe half a dozen. But eighty? It makes me nervous.
