And if they would just stay home in the kitchen where God intended, people like Pence would have no worries. </sarc>

Truly, if my husband stated that he would not be alone in a room with another woman, I would wonder what kind of monster I'd married!

Point taken, but are you then also uncomfortable with a religion/culture with strict etiquette about women being in public spaces with other men without supervision from husbands or brothers, also done for reasons of discouraging unwanted sexual behavior?

Excluding women is NOT the answer. Teaching men to keep it in their pants and have some respect, is.

IKR. Geez. Brit Hume how hard is it to act like a normal human being? Really? It should take no effort to act like a gentleman. @brithume

Has Pence been maligned for being a careful prude as much as Trump has been for being a pussy grabber? Attacking Pence really waters down complaints against more legitimate travesties (like the tax cuts for the donor class at expense of teachers...eye on ball!)

Apparently even in western culture, a woman bears the responsibility for a man's lack of self control. If Pence were Muslim, he'd prob support burqas.

Atypical.

Oh, @rezaaslan, you are an excellent writer (currently reading "No God but God") and an even better human being.

You are the expert but it has always struck me that male fundamentalists in all of the major religions are driven by fear of the sexual power of women.

So does Pence meet with women without his wife when other men are in the meeting? That would tell me if this was his policy or hers.

It's not like he has values or anything. Not everyone has respect for women like you middle eastern folk. #sharia

Whenever a man is alone with a woman the 3rd person is Satan ,that's why it's forbidden in Islam for a man nd woman to be alone.

Another tweet for which ‘under his eye’ appears an appropriate response ! Keep fighting for the dignity of your sex @rezaaslan - there appears to be those who are using it as an excuse for all sorts of torrid behaviour x
