Ron Paul Ups The Ante And Claims Sexual Harassment Shouldn’t Be Illegal

[DallasNE]

98. Right, The Sexual Harrassment Laws

That Paul would abolish. In the context of the question Paul uses the broad brush "rude behavior" to somewhat dodge the question but calling someone an "a$$hole" is outside this context for rude behavior. Paul, in other words, would be just fine with a supervisor telling a subordinate he would "love to kiss those melons" or "why don't I bring a bottle of wine over to your place tonight". That is not an assult, it is an unwanted sexual advance and rebuffing would likely lead to a bad performance review and the fallout from that. Herman Cain gave us a glimpse of how the character in one's private life would become part of the performance review and grounds for dismisal without compensation. If anything the sexual harrassment laws are too weak because they allowed Cain to become a serial harrasser.
