I see nothing wrong with an open discussion regarding the differences between males and female; both their strong and their week points. But to act as if the male is somehow weakened by the female or that the female doesn't have the metaphorical stones to pull a trigger, well, he hasn't met someone like me, and I am not the only female out there who has pulled a trigger with someone in my sights.
I think Santorum is the flavor of the next couple of week, am I wrong about this? Hopefully!
Personally, from a political perspective he could have taken a much different trip through this issue where he got to state what he wanted to state but not in a way that would create a negative response to viewers. He is right that there are differences between the two genders--the average height of a male is 5'11" and the average height of a female is 5'7"ish. Men are physiologically built for strength compared to the physiological makeup of females. Anyhoo.

"But I do have concerns about women in front-line combat, I think that could be a very compromising situation, where people naturally may do things that may not be in the interest of the mission, because of other types of emotions that are involved," Santorum continued. "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, and I think that's probably not in the best interest of men, women or the mission."
