 'Purist' Paul: Sexually Harassed Women Should Just Quit, Not A Civil Liberties Issue by Boris Rasin for Flickr |
Ron Paul may be be polling well in Iowa, but he's had a tough few weeks denying responsibility for racist and homophobic material once published under his name. Now, we can add women's rights to the list. And this time, it will be hard for Paul to place the blame on another author. As highlighted by CNN on Friday, in his 1987 book, Freedom Under Siege: The U.S. Constitution After 200-Plus Years, republished in 2007, Ron Paul made some eyebrow-raising statements about sexual harassment and women's rights in the workplace: Employee rights are said to be valid when employers pressure employees into sexual activity. Why don't they quit once the so-called harassment starts? Obviously the morals of the harasser cannot be defended, but how can the harassee escape some responsibility for the problem? Seeking protection under civil rights legislation is hardly acceptable. |
