Are any of my friends on the left still happy to mock Mike Pence?

the VP caught a lot of flack for his personal policy to not be alone in a room with ANY woman that is not his wife

he was mocked brutally

THIS ARTICLE from the New Yorker actually defines his policy as an attempt to prevent women from getting ahead

seems to me that in this environment of "guilty until proven innocent" that Pence's stance may well become the accepted policy of ALL public officials

we all see the game, if you are a conservative; sexual allegations get traction in the media, even if they are obviously politically motivated (Roy Moore); but accusations against leftist & liberals are brushed aside (Al Franken/Bill Clinton)

seems to me that Pence has been wise with his decisions...

I have a minister friend who employs the same policy. He is never alone with a woman who isn't his wife.

Stay above reproach and survive.

Clinton's episode was from a different time.

If the same thing would have happened today Clinton would have been roasted, and either would have resigned (more likely) or have been forced out.

Does he get out of elevators when a woman gets in?

I’ve been a career government worker ( LEO). I figured this out 25 years ago. I can’t tell you how many times I’ve seen women officers destroy male officers careers in order to get advancement. All it takes is a complaint. The men are immediately guilty.

That isn't what he said though. He said he wouldn't eat dinner or meal with a woman who wasn't his wife and wouldn't go to a party with lots of alcohol without his wife.

That leaves a lot of room.

As for counseling a troubled woman one on one, it is a good idea to have a witness there. But he never said that as far as I am aware.

I employ the same policy in my daily life. I would only be alone with female family members. I also don't drive my daughter's friends home alone unless my wife or my daughter are with me, even if it's just around the block.

I am willing to admit when i am wrong, and i was wrong in re to Pence’s policy of not being alone with women... I thought it was silly a few months ago, but now it looks smart... while i still think that Pence is a narrow-minded, homophobic bigot based on his record (and most probably a closeted homo himself), i will give him credit for being prophetic on this issue.

I never mocked him for that. That's just smart if you're reasonable
