Does he get a chaperone when he eats with his mom? AJT Mar 2017 #32

Given that he calls his wife "mother," your question is complicated. Chiyo-chichi Mar 2017 #127

But if the chaperone is also a woman, it could lead to a meringue a trois! Buns_of_Fire Mar 2017 #48

I am certainly no fan of Pence, and may be in the minority, but it makes sense to me. AgadorSparticus Mar 2017 #13

It's goofy as hell, and would probably preclude any woman from working for him The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2017 #15

You can conduct business outside of dinner. But he could certainly have his assistant tag along. AgadorSparticus Mar 2017 #17

It's sexist as hell. The Velveteen Ocelot Mar 2017 #18

It works both ways. Some women wouldn't have dinner with men they are not married to. AgadorSparticus Mar 2017 #20

It's a version of the burka/veil thing muriel_volestrangler Mar 2017 #59

BIG difference . . . MichMary Mar 2017 #67

No, it's a restriction on the women who ought to be working with him muriel_volestrangler Mar 2017 #83

There are other ways of conducting business MichMary Mar 2017 #84

Was "intimate little candlelit dinner" his description, or yours? muriel_volestrangler Mar 2017 #98

My interpretation MichMary Mar 2017 #106

Why It Matters That Pence Won't Have Dinner With A Woman Who Isn't His Wife JTFrog Mar 2017 #145

As a society, when we see someone have a drink, we don't automatically jump to the conclusion AgadorSparticus Mar 2017 #146

Bollocks. As a society, we live in the 21st century. We used to live in the second half of the 20th. muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #147

Nonsense. There is much assumption on your part. He can still hire a woman AgadorSparticus Apr 2017 #149

And it is our duty, as liberal people who see women as equal to men, to call out bad behaviour muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #150

No one has responded to the social implications. So it doesn't matter AgadorSparticus Apr 2017 #151

Yes, he does have to. That's the point. He has to treat men and women equally. muriel_volestrangler Apr 2017 #154

It can work. EllieBC Mar 2017 #63

There's two different questions, to my mind, if I think more about it. Warren DeMontague Mar 2017 #65

Do we know Karen Pence's feelings on the matter? MichMary Mar 2017 #76

I can say for the current community I am in and my former one, EllieBC Mar 2017 #124

It's not about trust MichMary Mar 2017 #75

It is 100% about trust, period obamanut2012 Mar 2017 #99
