About This Quote

As long as there have been women, there have been ways of punishing them for being women. The saying goes back hundreds of years to the medieval era, where women were blamed for living in sin with men. However, punishment was not limited to sexual intercourse. Women were also punished for their behavior during wartime. It was believed that if a woman did not behave herself during wartime, she would bring ruin on her country.
