Rick Santorum is not sexist, but he does have some concerns

The Pentagon: Women can serve in more, though still not all, critical combat roles than before.

Rick Santorum:

I do have concerns about women in front line combat. I think that could
be a very compromising situation where - where people naturally, you
know, may do things that may not be in the interests of the mission
because of other types of emotions that are involved.

John Potter, via Facebook: "I can't be the only one who thought of this" clip from 30 Rock. Nope, I thought of it, too:

 

Later Santorum walked it back: It's not women's emotions he's concerned about; it's men's emotions about women. Got it. Just another reminder that sexism is offensive to everyone involved, not just women.
