Men are not toys to play with. Responsible law abiding women should know how to use their men properly, never use their men to intimidate or harass anyone, and always keep their men locked in a safe.

Hume's says

Mike Pence’s policy of avoiding being alone with women other than his wife looking better every day, though widely mocked when it first became known.

O'Brien's says:

Ridiculous. If you're a man who can't be alone with a woman and not grab her or rub up against her, you probably shouldn't be around any people, ever.

So much so that they will make up stories without a witness around.

That's how this struck me.
Hume is filth.

which is how i interpret it for Pence: they have these pesky penises that make them do bad things that could get them in trouble when a female is within mating range. not their fault, but Pence's pesky penis is apparently so incorrigible that he has resorted to this fail safe policy.

ever since i learned of this "policy" of Pence's i had a vision of him just jumping any woman who happened to be in the same room alone with him. or at a restaurant. i also toy with the theory that this is a convenient way to avoid hiring women, and as you know, republicans hate women. it's a fear-based hatred.

This "no women but my wife" policy is a self-indictment of his ability to contain himself. I bet he has a perpetual boner.

Then, thank you Mike Pence, on behalf of all Americans - indeed, all of humanity - for taking affirmative steps to help us all avoid thinking about you and your naughty bits.

I greatly appreciate it. As goes with any abusers who take steps to protect others by changing their own actions.

How sick is that? Otherwise any woman he'd be alone with would be all over him, actively seducing him...or maybe his wife would suspect that was what would be going on. Is this NORMAL for most of people? Not for me, nor my ex-husband of many years,and interactions with others in both our parental duties and professions

Really! What is so hard about not grabbing women, forcing yourself on them, belittling them, masturbating in front of them, or coercing them into unwanted intimacy?

I can honestly say I don’t find it difficult to resist any of these behaviors! Unfortunately a lot of guys have veered into the darker end of the psychosexual spectrum, we’re now learning. (Something many women have already known but didn’t go around talking about — til now.)
