Some congressmen are so paranoid of sex scandals they refuse to be alone with female staffers
The Daily Mail ^ | 16 May 2015 | SOPHIE JANE EVANS

Some senators and representatives working on Capitol Hill refuse to be alone with their female staffers in case 'negative assumptions' are made about the nature of their relationships, an explosive new report reveals.

The male congressmen go so far as to bar female staffers from attending high-level meetings and evening and weekend events that would entail one-on-one contact, according to the National Journal survey.

They also reportedly refuse to drive alone with women or even sit down with them in their office for fear that others will misinterpret their relationship as inappropriate in an era of political sex scandals.

In doing so, the men are 'making it harder' for women to do their jobs and progress as congressional staffers.

This is not limited to Congressional staff.

This is good practice for anyone in any position of authority (such as a boss, teacher, etc). And not just females. Males too can make claims of inappropriate behavior.

Now they will sued into ruin for not fraternizing...

Damned if you do; damned if you don’t!

Unless as someone already said you are a progressive liberal democrat communist then it is all good.

Once the Execu-Sluts got hold of this Sexual Harassment notion, and they saw how it could work for them, they began harassing the Hell out of male competition.

Now they got Hom-Execu-Sluts, Lesbos icluded, so no one is safe at PC Corp of America!

Democrats don’t have to worry about this in the US — for them and their press, infidelity is cool and a badge of honor. But for the Republicans? Yes this “never alone” policy should be adopted and publicized. Seriously, think about it — it involves sex so the media will cover it, but the real purpose of publicizing it is to publicize the double standard.

I think it is a good idea. They can be with them in a group. There has been way too much stumbling to take a chance.

Doctors do the same thing. The nurse always has to be in the room.

Of course now with the homo thing I guess it will have to be with everyone, not just opposite sex patients.

Welcome to the New Amerika.

If all the rest of us have to be paranoid about having our lives ruined by some wacko bitch, then I see no reason congressmen shouldn’t suffer the same indignity.

Congress has made its own significant contribution towards turning our society into this litigious crap heap populated by disturbed females whose goal in life is to destroy all normal men.

Couldn’t be better said; glad Congress persons are wising up and ambitious young females see a barrier.

The same is true for job interviews, but even more so. Way back in the early nineties before all of this “accusing” was fashionable I was a young ‘up and coming’ exec. interviewing candidates for customer service/secretarial positions. One of them offered to perform a certain favor, “and it doesn’t matter if I get the job or not, I just think you are cute.” That’s when all the risks and possibilities began to sink in, so I moved the interview process to an office with a large window and instructed one of our staff to sit where she could see in the window the entire time.

It’s not paranoia if there actually are people out to get you, and there are.

Once again, modern political correctness takes us back to some weird simile of an earlier time, but without the common sense and the Christian morality backing it.

Gee whiz, what’s the point of getting elected to Congress if you don’t get to insert thy sword in thy staff ?

And apparently some women now wish they were back in the Mad Men era when men were men.

You should’ve told her you preferred offshore drilling.

A video cam on youtube can replace that paranoia with alternative concerns.

It is why Virtue in the populace is needed for Freedom.

Without Virtue (Christian Ethics) , there can be no Trust; efficiency and unity is impossible.

It is why women never were in the “workforce” with males for centuries (Natural Laws/Reason)——like homosexuals were kicked out of Navy because of their lack of control of base instincts and destruction of civility-—that narcissistic, puerile need to dominate other males because of fixated psycho-sexual damage in early childhood.

Of course, Reason (Natural Laws) are not allowed for the irrational NWO—where Slavery is Freedom and Vice is Virtue and Up is Down ( to create irrational slaves: Fichte’s “happy slaves” for the Socialist Marxist State for the elite’s NWO.)

It is the continued promotion of Marxist theory in the public square—Deny Truth/Natural Laws/God so you can pit all groups against each other-—make them “hate’ each other-—since the herd instinct is strong in immoral, puerile people.

Destroy Virtue and Reason in children (Snow is Black, Vice is Virtue, marriage can be two males sodomizing each other) and voila-—the “irrational, puerile sheeple for the NWO will remain ignorant.

Their foundation is based on Lies and misinformation and removal from the Natural Family (reason/Logic) and put into institutions away from Real Life experiences for mind control, and in front of screens to control emotions only and posit Lies (artificially embed proper emotions for the “proper” concepts, like Chrstians are Bigots and Sodomy is a Virtue to flip 2000 years of theology (worldview) which created concepts of Individualism and Freedom).

I wouldn't hire females

So everyone will assume you are gay. LOL

This article is a bunch of baloney. Having worked there I know it's a lie. The congress guys hire females. They hire VERY attractive females. And they spend a lot of time with them in the office late at night.

The Rev. Billy Graham also was weary of being alone with any female. I've read that if he was traveling alone and the agency sent a female chauffeur, he would simply refuse and requested that a male driver be substituted. When possible, remove any temptation from your life.
