'My wife was not traumatized': Dennis Prager suggests women used to be less phased by sexual harassment

16 March 2023

Conservative talk show Dennis Prager said during a recent segment of his show women are more traumatized by sexual assault than they used to be, Media Matters for America reports.

Prager, who is notoriously known for making misogynistic comments, opened the segment by saying, "So, this is a subject of massive interest - how women react to sexual harassment. I mean, it's a very complex subject. And I -- again, just to make it clear, I zero tolerate the idea of men doing it because it's wrong and it's stupid."

The right-wing commentator's monologue then took a turn.

Jason Campbell shared a clip of Prager speaking on his thoughts around sexual harassment, writing, Dennis Prager: “Women, until the recent past, did not regard' sexual harassment 'as trauma.'"

Prager continued, "My wife was not traumatized by the manager at her restaurant where she was a waitress and groped her breasts. She pushed them away and then took the next order for a hamburger, which was a great act on her part, because she's a vegetarian."

Opposed to addressing the acts of harm, the host concluded his spiel by asserting individuals should take responsibility for their own reactions to traumatic experiences.

"You decide how to react to offensive things that happen to you," Prager said. "It is completely in your control."
