What did Akin say that was oh so embarrassing?

I’m really mystified about this concocted “issue.”

I suppose it's that he implied he doesn't believe the function of a woman's body is unaffected by external stress.

Sounds like an eminently reasonable position to me, but all I hear is that it was "offensive to women."

I know various functions of a man's body are demonstrably affected by external stress; maybe women's bodies ARE different after all.
