What motivates FEMALE suicide bombers?

Question

I'm confused. I thought MALE suicide bombers were motivated by the promise of dozens of female virgins in the afterlife since the more affluent/powerful "hog" the women in these primitive countries. Aren't women viewed as a valued commodity in these countries?

Answer 1

I can't imagine anyone committing suicide bombings without having been brainwashed.  Once they convince the men it's ok and they will be rewarded, what's to stop them from getting the women involved?  I wonder if they're telling them there will be lots of jewelry...

Answer 2

i'll take one good women on earth versus the "promise" of virgins in the afterlife. and why not let bin laden and ilk such as he show the way to suicide bomb. in other words...you first osama

Answer 3

Hate!

Answer 4

Women are NOT valued in those countries!  They are often treated worse than animals!

I would imagine that these women are not "motivated" at all, but bullied into it by their "lords and masters".  Maybe some might see it as a way out of the oppression they live under, but more than likely, most are reluctantly forced or tricked into it.  

I don't know about the latest ones in the news right now, but a pair of female suicide bombers in the news a few months back were mentally retarded.  Their men strapped the bombs onto them, sent them into a crowded marketplace and then set off the bombs via remote control.
