I say fuck him. Makes it seem like women are just brimming with sinful desires that would overpower him if he were alone with them.

I don't see it that way.  I see it more from the following 2 perspectives:

1. An admission that he is a fallible man attracted to women, some of whom may also be attracted to him, perhaps by virtue of his status and power. Better just to avoid temptation in the first place. Not a policy for everyone, of course, but as a policy for him personally, it's fine (if quaint).

2. An ass-covering policy designed to avoid any allegations of sexual impropriety, which could be devastating for a religious conservative politician.

How do you see other perspectives like when he passed the most draconian anti-women's health agenda in the country when he was Governor of Indiana?

Yeah, if you took his stance on being alone with woman in isolation, it is quaint but probably pretty harmless, as long as he was careful to not let it be a disadvantage for women business wise (ie, don't have meals alone where you discuss anything with men either).

In the context of his overall views on women, gender issues, and health care for women - it is part and parcel with a incredibly dated and misogynistic world view.

But, on the other hand, he is proud to be the VP and defender of a man who thinks he should grab women's pussies when he is alone with them. So there you go.

By not necessarily equating pro-life policies with misogyny.   ;)

Shame they are necessarily equated, though.

Women are nothing more than filthy cunty useless cumdumpsters that do nothing but make them look at their tits and toe cleavage, and therefore do not have the right to sit alone with the Governor of Indiana/Vice President of the United States to discuss policy.  You do, though.

You leave out the (likelier, IMO) alternative:  (3) his wife told him that, if she ever heard of him being alone with another woman, she'd cut his balls off while he slept.

That's the kind of thing you should be RAGE!!!! about.  Pence's dinner or drinking policies are petty shit compared to his politics and policies.

See, it creates a balanced ticket:  one misogynist who is afraid that he might act like an asshole if left alone with women balanced by another misogynist who is proud that he acts like an asshole if left alone with women.  Yin and Yang and stuff.

However it is, as Brahms would say, variations on a theme.

Yes, I would think you would get by now that we don't stand for sexism.

You guys are so predictable.

Yeah it is probably no surprise somebody with Pence's mindset doesn't sit well with me.
