This is similar to, but not exactly like, some Muslim men who refuse to shake a woman’s hand in a Western setting. The same premise behind it at least ... temptation.

I don't think so at all. I worked mostly with male managers (as a woman manager), and many would not step into my office for a quick closed-door meeting. Why? Because of all the sexual harassment charges that are rampant in the workplace! That's especially true on government jobs, where if you make the accusation, you often get promoted out of the work area. As for meeting out in public, if anyone sees it they assume something else is going on. With Pence, I'm sure there are plenty of progressive women who wouldn't hesitate to make a accusation that would hang with him forever - easy to do from the left when it comes down to he-said-she-said.

I doubt it's that he doesn't trust her or wants her to be constantly under his supervision - quite the contrary, it's letting her be there to help prevent anyone from doing anything like that.

Probably many “feminists” have hatred for anyone who has a normal relationship. Most men avoid these idiots like the plague.

Yes, I agree there is always the possibility of people making false accusations about you to harm your reputation. But they could do that with male to male as well.

I know a female university professor who will not meet with any student, male or female, alone in her office or anywhere behind closed doors for just that reason. She will only meet with a student in a public place like the library.

But Pence appears to be saying that he won’t meet in public alone with a female. I wonder if he would meet with a female alone in private under the circumstances I outlined.
