Pence wont eat with a women who isnt his wife?

98. Was "intimate little candlelit dinner" his description, or yours?

The quote I've seen is "In 2002, Mike Pence told The Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either."

No, it is fine if they sit down together. The small town gossips need to realise this is the 21st century, and women can interact with men without it being sexual. They even have jobs, and the vote. Pence is at the best pandering to appalling sexism; but really, I think he knows he is taking part in that sexism. If women have to be treated with special rules, it makes it look like they're an oddity, rather than just half of the human race. But he joined a campaign that was the most sexist the USA has seen in decades, so maybe it's not surprising. Trump sees women as sex objects, to be used how he wants; Pence sees them as temptation, and signals his virtue by following Victorian standards of segregation.

I'm also worried he thinks he's an alcoholic without any self-control.
