No Respect, I Tell Ya

According to this news story, “sexy bombers” in the Philippines seriously threaten the nation’s safety. What makes these bombers sexy?

They’re Muslim women.

Yeah, that’s it. The story doesn’t mention why they’re termed sexy: do they wear sensual perfume and heavy makeup to entice victims? Do they wear revealing clothes so that victims are disarmed by their supposed physical charms?

We’ll never know. The story only reports them as female members of an Islamic group in the Philippines.

I guess the only requirements for being a sexy bomber are being Muslim and having a vagina. (rolling eyes)
