6. CONCLUSION
The society needs to cease idealizing
women and start believing that they too
can be indulged in such heart-wrenching
activities like terrorism. The symbolism of
women as non-violent and peaceful is
pretty much delusional and lead us to
believe that women should not be
participating in such activities, whereas the
truth is that whether it is a man or a
woman, everyone should be equally
shocked when it comes to terrorism or
other criminal activities.
