She said she completely understood

I’m more willing to let the bullshit go unnoticed with Bush because he wasn’t an opportunistic chickenshit.

@oprahsminge Even if a potential female employee is competent and doesn’t have a victim complex?

The Pence Rule has been vindicated. By the left.

Mind you, I have fears about being falsely accused of rape, but I still have a lot of female friends who are more left-leaning than me.

Would they mock you for following the Pence Rule?

Remind me what that is, please.

Don't be alone with wahmen basically

Unless it's your wife

The Pence Rule is not dining alone with women other than his wife, which is somewhat narrower.

Or a relative really

Even if she’s a friend I’ve known for nine years?

Or family?

Tbh friends are iffy territory these days. Family I think is assumed safe

Some people seem really great right up until controversy starts

I guess it's as much about your view of marriage as your view of female friendship.

@Illyrian the risk is sometimes not even the person themselves, but others around or even public perception.

I'd say doing anything alone with one of your wife's peers is an unwise move.

@Illyrian how would I know if that woman does or does not?

THIS IS INTOLERABLE TO SOMEONE WHO VALUES FRIENDSHIP AND ROMANCE LIKE ME!

I did say "if they're in their 50's I'd hire them

Why are Europeans so cowardly

Like Grandma's

someone doesn't like you, competition wants to sink your company? start a thread on the rumor mill and suddenly you are #metoo'd

@devpav being alone with your wife's peers has always been unwise.

that is nothing new

Profs have rules like that too

My wife or daughters are the only exception to the rule of who I hire

Having witnesses around and the door open when discussing things outside of class with female students

Now if someone below me hires a female that won't work near me, fine.

Goddamn, I really hope this dies down by the time I start teaching history.

But none of them to work around me

Maybe what's new is feminist hags challenging the wisdom of the Pence Rule.

I was kicked out of my sociology class for saying that people should be responsible for their own actions and that if u see someone getting raped u should stand up for them.

So yeah I am not a fan of feminism

wut

Who told you to enroll in sociology in the first place?

Graduation requirements

@devpav yes, that is what is new. Which is why most people see it as ridiculous because tbh, it seems more like a "me proving i am faithful to my wife" than "i don't want to be metoo'd"

that story has gaps like crazy

@Illyrian it won't. Cover your ass
