I do not know if I would say that necessarily but it certainly will be interesting to see the psychological effect of this once it settles in.

There is a distinct possibility that this may push them over the edge.

Things like this normally happens in three's.......

So what could be next?

That is just adding more salt to an already open and festering wound.

If it had just been happenstance that the mission was completed, soup to nuts, by women, it would have just been viewed as a slap to the face. It having been intentional is worth at least an additional 100 riots.
