In reply to the discussion: If men could get pregnant [View all]RC
(25,592 posts)10. I used to whole hardly agree with this and similar things.

Blowback?
Blowback is the espionage term for unintended consequences of a covert operation that are suffered by the civil population of the aggressor government. To the civilians suffering the blowback of covert operations, the effect typically manifests itself as random acts of political violence without a discernible, direct cause; because the publicin whose name the intelligence agency actedare ignorant of the effected secret attacks that provoked revenge (counter-attack) against them.[1] Specifically, blowback denotes the resultant, violent consequencesreported as news fact, by domestic and international mass communications media, when the actor intelligence agency hides its responsibility via media manipulation. Generally, blowback loosely denotes every consequence of every aspect of a secret attack operation, thus, it is synonymous with consequencethe attacked victims revenge against the civil populace of the aggressor country, because the responsible politico-military leaders are invulnerable.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Blowback_%28intelligence%29
