Kamala Harris: Mike Pence Refusing to Meet Women Alone Is ‘Outrageous
Posted on 3/17/19 at 11:36 pm

Why? Protecting himself against accusations is common.
True story. Billy Graham never walked to his room alone. He had people around him who made sure no women got around him in a hotel etc... while traveling.
Why? Common sense. We live in a world where something as simple as that can be turned and will be turned into something it was not.

Harris was referring to a 2002 interview where Pence revealed that he never dines alone with women other than his wife Karen and does not drink in public unless his wife is by his side. When Pence’s comments resurfaced in a 2017 Washington Post article, several critics accused the vice president of putting career-minded women at a disadvantage for a “dumb dinner rule” and promoting a worldview “where men have no self-control, and women are either temptresses or guardians of virtue.” Despite the backlash in the press, a New York Times poll from that same year found that most Americans agreed with Pence’s principle of not eating alone with women other than his wife.

In the wake of #MeToo, Pence is doing it right. Kamala is just bashing him to score cheap points with her constituents.

Kamala Harris is a home wrecking skank who had sex with a married man. Her opinion on this matter is irrelevant because she’s an immoral person

She acts like no woman has ever invented bullchit to smear a man. As soon as women quit making up assault stories (I'm looking at you Blowsie Ford) men can feel safe meeting with them alone. As a (R) Pence is an even a bigger target for some frothing banshee to falsely accuse. frick Kamala.

Okay, Pence not taking meetings with women alone is fricking weird. But this type of attack by Harris is unwarranted and unsubstantiated.

The worldview that far too many women are vengeful liars is more commonly known as reality. And Harris' reptilian behavior during the attempted Kavanaugh lynching made her just as bad as the Blaisey creature.

Protecting himself against accusations

If all men followed the Pence rule, Kamala Harris would probably be a burned out bureaucrat at the California DMV. No wonder it bothers her.

It’s not just about protecting yourself from false accusations. It’s also about holding yourself accountable by making sure if you’re ever tempted, there are people around to keep you from making a terrible mistake.

He’s getting reversed me too’d. The next big manufactured crisis and hashtag should be:

Notably, Harris would be one of the forest people in search of Tv camera to criticize and condem Pence for even fake accusations just like she did to Justice Kavanaugh.

Devils Advocate
By the logic of Pence’s behavior, any female co-workers should be seen primarily as sexual objects and potential temptresses, not as colleagues. And by the same logic, men lack the self control to avoid their sexual impulses? They are simply unable to control themselves around women, without their wives there to chaperone them. Both of these stereotypes are insulting and limiting to both genders.
In addition, women could lose opportunity at promotions and equal access if only males can be met alone. It could also become a legal issue.
Example: Female staffers of Congressmen who follow this rule are routinely barred from private meetings, from driving with their male bosses and from evening events.

Pence is just being painfully realistic.
A catty rumor, it doesn’t even need to be true, can destroy a man.

The opposite is actually true. Taking meetings alone is weird. Means you are hiding something. Just as Bill and Loretta.

Pence is a monster for being virtuous and monogamous. Trump is a monster for doing the opposite. Why can’t liberals ever make any damn sense?

Kamala Harris sleeps with married men. she is a morally bankrupt THOT and her opinion means nothing.

Bill and Loretta
The idea that a man and woman can’t have private meetings as colleagues is ridiculous.

These are extremes. Neither Pence nor Trump are the norm. 90% of population live between Wilt Chamberlain and Billy Graham
