Surely Not!

I think it's sexist for CNN and other news outlets to constantly specify the gender of suicide bombers when they're female. What's the point? I assume they think it's more sensational, and that more people will click on the headline and please their advertisers. Or the problem is simply that editors are still convinced that women can't do everything men can do, so they're personally shocked by something like this. Weird. You would think that at least now, during the Hillary-Sarah election, they would be a little more aware. It's not like CNN still refer to Gov. Palin as the first Republican VP candite in every headline.
