"I do have concerns about women in frontline combat. I think that can be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interests of the mission because of other types of emotions that are involved. And I think that’s probably – you know, it already happens, of course, with the camaraderie of men in combat. But I think it would be even more unique if women were in combat. I think that’s probably not in the best interests of men, women or the mission."

Rick Santorum is concerned that women in combat situations might have too many lady emotions.

Bitches be crazy, huh, Rick?

It’s a pretty well-known fact that my UNCONTROLLABLE LADY EMOTIONS prevent me from doing any important work. -Jess

We cannot do anything with our lady brains and our lady bits. They just make it so we cannot do anything but be irrational and emotional all the time. We might ruin the mission by being on our *gaps* periods.

And yet you some how miss the point… it’s the reaction of other men around her that is the problem and the emotional reaction they have when that woman gets hit. Shall we take Israel for example? “The reason for removing female soldiers from the front lines is no reflection on the performance of female soldiers, but that of the male infantrymen after witnessing a woman wounded. The IDF saw a complete loss of control over soldiers who apparently experienced an uncontrollable, protective, instinctual aggression.”

When your presence effects the ability of a unit to fight because of natural instincts that is a problem.

For someone who calls himself an “egalitarian” on his Tumblr blog, you sure spout a whole lot of paternalistic, condescending nonsense.

Also, if men are the ones who can’t control their strong emotions, maybe they’re the ones who should never be put into combat situations.
