I fact checked this to see if it was a legitimate quote, because Ron Paul has tried to deny other things that have been written over his name. It is really his own words, from Ron Paul's book. It is a sentiment shared by other extreme right wingers like Phyllis Schafley, who stated, “Sexual harassment on the job is not a problem for virtuous women”. This is part of the misogyny, the bad treatment of women, including blaming victims for the bad conduct of men, that produced feminism. It is also an example of the simplistic thinking of old white male conservatives (and some old white women conservatives) of privilege.
It is why conservatives continue to be on the wrong side of history.
