The point is it doesn't matter why he has an issue, the fact that he has an issue creates a barrier for women in his workplacehttps://twitter.com/530bruceross/status/847641411222618112 …

People makes jokes abt how Pence must be perpetually horny, then ppl go "No it's just a culture thing", and I'm like who cares

It almost certainly mostly is a matter of appearances, him doing what's "normal" in the religious subculture he's from, that's not the point

My point is partly that sex is muddling up this issue. Any other group he didn't want to be alone with you'd call it out as discrimination

If he said "I don't want to be alone with an Asian person" you'd call him out right then and there w/o dissecting why, exactly

Bc it doesn't actually matter whether the discomfort is born of contempt or fear or whatever, you can see it's discriminatory

But the effect is still the same, its discrimination against women

Look Christians like Pence do all kinds of exclusionary shit and pin it on faith. "I can't attend a gay wedding bc I don't 'believe in it'"

"I won't be in the room where a Muslim cleric is doing the convocation prayer bc I don't believe in that either"

As a private citizen, fine, put up whatever social barriers you want, but if you're in a position of significant power then it matters

(And yes, I'd think it was an issue even if Pence were totally secular and liberal in every other respect. Which, of course, he isn't)
