That said, tying the question to female “emotions” seems ill advised; as using that hackneyed “buzzword” (We all know he's implying factors related to the menstrual cycle.) will only alienate an even larger group of women.

While the slant of the article implied it was female emotions, it was clear from the context of his actual quote that Santorum was referring to either the protective instincts of men toward women or possibly to romantic feelings, which involve the emotions of both.

Don't buy the spin.

With the repeal of DADT, doesn’t that leave the possibility that there could be fella for fella romantic feelings?

This DADT repeal really has made a mess of things.

I take your point; but, I’m really not “buying” the “spin” I just honestly believe that using the term “emotions” in this context will create a negative connotation in the minds of most women. Rick is trying to “skirt” the issue (no pun intended) and, in doing so, he only makes it worse.
