3. People assume women doing this is an act of desperation by those forcing her to do so...
women are never credited with believing in the cause they die for. It's always 1) revenge for men in their lives that have been killed 2) or they are being forced to do so.

While these two motivations might be very common among female suicide bombers, at least once I'd like to see a reference to one that simply believed in the cause for the same reasons as everybody else and gave her life for it, just as men do.
