"SNIP....
Is having another man present really the answer? So I understand you think that having another man present will really help you control your unbridled masculine urges, but doesn't having two men present with a woman make it even more questionable? According to your way of thinking, I would feel a lot safer, as a supporter of the #MeToo movement, if you had two women present instead.
Should you really be meeting alone with men either?It is very clear that you believe marriage is only between a man and a woman, despite the rulings of the Supreme Court, and therefore any sexual relations are only between a man and a woman. But wouldn't it help avoid and question that you are going outside of your marriage with a man if you always had a woman present as well?
What kind of women should be present? Now that I think about it, it would really make sense for these women chaperones to be married and also mothers. I mean, who can even trust a married woman if she hasn't yet procreated?
How do you make sure you are taking into account their roles as wife and homemaker? From reading your statements, it sounds like you really value the role of wives, mothers and homemakers, so you should also factor in what work schedule will make that possible. These married mothers who will be the acceptable chaperones will need to be able to drop their children off at school and pick them up and will probably need an hour or two mid-day to ensure your shirts are pressed, the home is clean and that the evening meal has been prepped so that it can be on the table when their husbands finish their hard day of work. This likely means you have a window of 10 a.m.-12 p.m. for any meetings.

(58,719 posts)the 'fear' here is that a woman will make a false accusation that he assaulted her and thus he needs a witness to prevent that.
They try to sugar coat it with their Faux Christian bullshit, but it really has nothing to do with that.

He can't be alone with them, so no news conferences, no news prescience, and by election time, nobody knows who the heck he is, and he fades back into obscurity, known only as a footnote on the idiocy of not meeting with women alone.
