This is from May, but consider Santorum’s recent bullshit comments about women not being able to ‘handle’ combat just as well this is relevant. Thanks to the reader who suggested I post this!

Here’s the list. Click the link for explanations and the whole article.

1. Women are too emotionally fragile for combat.
2. Women are too physically weak for the battlefield.

5. Women can’t lead men in combat effectively.
