Don’t worry, just as extremist muslim men are outdoing the rest of the world in the “atrocity” department, so too their women:
“Chechen women were the perpetrators of the Moscow attacks. In the first incident, two Chechen females, one only 20-years-old, strapped explosive belts containing metal pieces around their waists and went to an outdoor rock concert.
