But I saw a closeup of them sitting on the bench and their legs looked a bit manspread-ey.

... but I will admit the figure on the bench gave a good impression of a man. something in the way the figure moves in front of the brownstones...looks feminine

the bomber while s/he was on the bench. That's not mentioned any more. Why? Has the person come forward and being protected?

Also, who's scooter is there at the "bench" scene. I've never heard that mentioned at all.

I've thought the bomber male because of toeing outward with a wide stance here or there, but the flapping of the left hand on that video is so, so female.

Agree it's an upper echelon operation. Bomber not rogue, someone or some entity instigated these actions. Diversion? Makes sense. More so when consider that both parties, RNC and DNC, were targeted. They expected to create such anarchy that power would be in the streets. Who might that benefit? Any ideas?

the configuration of their hip sockets, which aids in child bearing. This is one reason it is difficult for women - as a whole - to run as fast as men (exceptions, of course, are duly noted).

The way the bomber sets the bag down, and the way she gets up from the bench. The shoes look masculine but small, I think to throw people off the track of a woman. Walks like a gal, gestures like a gal. Small shoulders. Everything covered, even the hands, to obscure the identity.

My vote is "woman," and my husband said "woman" the first time he saw any of the videos.
