another name.

Should not hold public office.

you are not a leader.

It’s self protection from the evil, lying women who destroy men with their lies about groping and raping. Women will get ya if you give them a chance, especially if you become an important person.

They’re also witches who used to be burned to death after frolicking naked in the woods with the demons.

A man has to protect himself at all costs.

But there are a few....

Sadly, I tend to agree with them.... this is a new age.

Are you kidding me?

I suspect in this day and age, I would probably make the same decision.

But what sort of surprises me, if that more people didn’t see this coming....

Not saying that all females are evil, but a man has to protect himself that that one that might have an agenda.

Sorry, the world is a different place - and memories of what may or might happen can change over time.

Whatever floats your boat.

But not because I think there's a reasonable worry of 'the women' being evil (esp. since we're talking about female reporters), but rather because other people who might report on the interactions you have with them ... may have an agenda against you. Tabloid photographers, etc.

There's a difference between the two concerns.

And here on DU, in my experience, these sorts of matters must be approached delicately to avoid reproach ... and you're probably not exhibiting the requisite sensitivity in your verbiage ... Just sayin'.

As such, I'd prepare for some 'clarifications' in your future

For your insights.

But nothing I am going to worry about, but thanks.

They are weak people who externalize their own lack of self control and project it onto women.

Poor, weak-willed men. They want to blame women for the pathetic weakness that is theirs.

Let's just say they're not my type.

That would devastate a lot of fondly held beliefs!

So are he and his wife fitted for matching chastity belts? If you cannot trust yourself, or women to be in control of behaviors then you need to do some serious introspection.

Okay I am being mildly facetious here but how is this significantly different from putting women into a burka? Like when women had to wear Victorian bathing suits that extended below the knee cap and have a bodice and police measured the hems so as to "not cause a spectacle" So, because some men cannot control their impulses you have these white knucklers making these lame rules. How about not doing anything inappropriate and not lusting after women?

It’s about men thinking they have to protect themselves.

lives, minding their own business regardless but it is men who are afraid? What was it who scared you men? Weinstein? Epstein? Cosby?

didn’t make sure they were never alone with a woman other than their wives. That is what this thread is about. I am only talking about their paranoid reasoning.

so rich people don't have to pay taxes. We'll see it if this turns into a sea of copycats.

Disgusting and Dark Ages thinking.

LOL, they think wrong.

We cannot interview you without having a male escort? How about this. We will run against you and beat you.

Gone are the days you will be able to stop us with your silly ideas to keep us out. We are not going back.

Really, if you are this pitiful who the hell wants to hear from you anyway.

This is flat-out discrimination based on gender. Who appointed Graham as arbiter of morals anyway?

Haven’t you heard?

Just ask Graham. He’ll tell ya.

as a wedge issue and corral men into voting for Trump?

A press blackout should really help their chances.

They are still here.

of being groped or sexually harassed, too.

women did to Al Franken ?

......the walking talking definition of misogynistic, self righteous insecurity.

they can fuck right off

The whole implications of lack of control around women aside, it also speaks a lot about the other women that they leave out of the 'I'll be alone with list'.

They must be truly disturbed individuals if their own mothers can't be safe alone with them.

This is the Conservative mind set, they think all men are animals because they themselves can't keep control around women. They think they couldn't stop themselves from raping any woman if they got her alone, that's that this boils down too.

Sick and frightening.
