Prejudice In American Media

This is totally disgusting!
Another Female Suicide Bomber Strikes Iraqi Province

Do they ever print a headline stating "Male Suicide Bomber Strikes"? Of course not. When they say Suicide Bomber it is implied that we all know suicide bombers are men thus mandating the gender tag when it is not. Are we really that backwards? With women working as police officers, dairy delivery persons, lawyers, gas station attendants, and even making a serious bid for this nation's top office we are somehow still so prejudiced as to not fully accept that women can be just as proficient at suicide bombing as men are.
