To his great credit GW Bush used to avoid having meetings without a witness present with any woman, similar to Pence.
One story said an aide told Bush: “She is really fighting mad. She thought you’d agree to be with her.” Bush: “Good. We have to keep it that way with all of them.”
Otherwise, women can make phony charges and blackmail or slander the men. His word against hers, the tabloids, social media and women’s rights groups. A bad time to be a man.
Does not matter who you are meeting with, male, female or (especially!) child you will have someone else with you or the door does not close.
There is absolutely no other way to keep the organization and staff safe.
