theweaselkingTerrorists plant IED in Austin, TX. Nobody gives a shit because the only potential targets were women.
I'll say that again: TERRORISTS PLANTED A BOMB IN THE UNITED STATES OF AMERICA AND NOBODY GIVES TWO SHITS.
And why? Because the terrorists in question are white, male, heterosexual, and Christian, and the US media and to a lesser degree the public doesn't care about anything white, male, straight Christians do to brown people, females, queers, and heathens.
Feministe has more, with more links.

(I remembered the name of the woman in Toledo - Marjorie Reed. She set fire to the Toledo Clinic three times in the early and mid-80s, and bombed the Center for Choice in 1987.)
