Pence wont eat with a women who isnt his wife?

86. It makes sense only if you think men can't control themselves and women are harlots.

Everyone has the ability to respect others' boundaries. And having dinner with a friend or coworker of the opposite sex (in the case of hetero people) is no big deal UNLESS you are not a respecter of boundaries. If you are prone to being inappropriate with a coworker or friend, then, no, you should not have dinner with them. But then, if you are prone to such inappropriateness, you should either grow up and change, or be fired or lose that friendship. And your significant other should "fire" you too, because you can't be trusted.

But those of who are adults and who can be trusted are insulted by the implication that someone like Pence would not be alone with us. First off, it's Pence, so not if he was the last guy on earth. Big EWW!. Secondly, it says more about Pence and his proclivities than it says about any woman he could possible have dinner with.

But Pence's attitude, were it widespread (which I guess it is in some circles), prevents women from assuming positions of power, as legislators or CEO, or the like. Male-dominated professions, if they follow this rule, would keep women from ever achieving promotions in fields occupied mostly by men. Imagine if they could never meet with their male clients or associates.

In fact, I could never have had the jobs I have had, because at various times almost all my colleagues were men. I would never be allowed to do fieldwork with anyone, ever, in some jobs.
