He would be the latest one, but it has happened before. I am just wondering what sort of sexual peccadilloes the next Supreme Court nominee will be accused of?
It goes back to the earliest church tradition.
“it would be a mistake to respond by embracing a tactic that will do little to ward off accusations and only send society lurching backward.”
Backwards to what? Christian morals?
This writer is not a careful thinker.
Not understanding the reason for this practice comes from not understanding the most fundamental ideas.
It's not just men that are sexually aggressive.
Let's steer this away from Mike Pence, specifically. A man in a professional setting today, in our world where accusations must be believed and evidence doesn't matter, means that one unhinged woman who either is so brittle she gets triggered over nothing or for some reason sees an advantage in willfully inventing an abuse scandal can destroy a mans career and life. 99% of women aren't a threat to do that out of meanness. But as #metoo gains steam, the brittle triggered types get more and more likely to see abuse in everything. It only takes one to declare that you just undressed her with your eyes and made her feel degumanized and you are toast. Everything you had or ever will have in that career is gone just like that.
Unstable women who relish the status of victim and the power it gives them will do this and they will be convinced they are in the right. As a man, all you can to defend yourself is avoid the situation. Make sure there are always witnesses with you when you interact with women. Never have one alone in your office or a conference room, if you are forced to then keep the door wide open and keep it brief.
Eventaully this sort of self defense mechanism will be declared a microaggression and men will be required to be alone with women all the time or get fired for that. But until then, it's dumb not to avoid the situation. Sorry ladies, take it up with your triggered #metoo sisters.
The next one will be accused of not accepting homosexual advances.
You are probably right. I hope no one saw him spit on the sidewalk, 40 years ago. 👎
When our new Pastor’s office was built, the part housing his desk was made rather small. The outer office, however, has a table for four, a small couch, and a bookshelf. It also has a door that can be fully closed - in a GLASS WALL.
Wise managers, pastors, rabbis and priests started using this rule or guidance in the late 1970’s.
We have an architect friend, who had a sub specialty of designing offices for the above common sense practice in the late 1970’s for the above and managers and business owners.
In the early 1980’s our new pastor was outraged, when I told him that we needed this retrofit for his church office.
Fortunately, his wife told him to shut up and get with the program. His new office had a glass door, a glass wall to his receptionist, and a large picture window without drapes/curtains abutting well used and busy courtyard.
Decades later, when he retired, he and his wife thanked my wife and I for being friends and helping them. Both said “Thanks for insisting on the open retrofit of his office.”
He had peers and knew of other church heads, who ended up in nasty and expensive court cases because of their closed door policies with employees and members of their churches.
OH YES IT DOES
IVE HAD THE SAME RULE JUST OUT OF RESPECT FOR MY WIFE
Exactly correct.
All the walls at our new corporate office are glass as well.
