If Mort Divine ruled the world

[Dak]

Pence would prefer everyone avoid sex altogether and mate according to some medieval system like in The Handmaid's Tale. I never said sex should be avoided altogether. I said that sex should be avoided when professional standards are in place: (potential) employee/employer, student/teacher relationships, players/coaches, doctors/patients, etc.

It's really very simple, and not a legally hazardous situation at all if people are smart about it.

I was specifically talking about the "Pence Rule". He won't be alone with a woman who isn't his wife. It's a surefire way to avoid these sorts of scenarios, because there's no necessity of actual impropriety for accusations of such. It's funny that Vox ran an article on it saying that it "doesn't keep women safe". Maybe it would and maybe it wouldn't, but the point is to keep Pence safe.

Pence is woke af on gender relations.

omg so paranoid. Fucking women be out to corrupt the good Christian man. Makes perfect sense though--that he'd do this, I mean.

 

[Dak]

You don't think there's women that would want to take him out with assault claims? I mean, it could still be alleged but it becomes infinitely harder.

 

[Einherjar86]

Nah, not really. I mean, maybe there are somewhere, but I think for most if not all the difficulty of actually getting even remotely close to him outweighs the glee of accusation.

I don't think there are sleeper cells in the White House scheming to frame Pence for sexual harassment. I'd say that's a narcissistic delusion of grandeur.

Not necessarily vulnerable as VP, but he wasn't VP since forever. His rule helps prevent the sort of like spurious, abonymous charge from long past facing Kavanaugh.

Modest dress: Eschewing the male gaze or submitting to the oppressive patriarchy?

Regardless. I don't think there are women just lying in wait to level "spurious" accusations at political figures they don't agree with. I think believing such is really psychologically suspect.

Probably not. But that's not how it works. You work with someone 20 years ago. Now they think X way and you are a person they don't like, and you have power.

If Hispanics want Florida so bad I say trade it to Mexico or Cuba or something. Nothing worth crying over down there.

People have been desperately trying to link Trump to a rape/harassment beef since 2016, but no you're right women don't ever randomly come out of the woodwork with claims against politicians or famous actors.

 

[Einherjar86]

I'm sorry, I thought we're discussing "spurious" accusations. That's the word Dak used. In the case of Trump, we're not talking about spurious accusations.

 

[CiG]

No the hooker piss thing was completely legitimate.

 

[Einherjar86]

oh god, that's what you're going to? Give me a break. Who gives a shit if a hooker peed in his mouth?

 

[CiG]

A lot of the left and the media?

 

[Einherjar86]

The media definitely--because wouldn't it be hilarious if there is a tape??? Site visits would fucking soar.

The left, not so much--they're just amused by it. And by the fact that a pee tape is probably more likely to convince republicans to impeach Trump than an actually substantive issue.

 

[CiG]

No it's just that the left don't have any substantive issues to offer up in favour of impeachment so as usual they scrape the bottom of the ideological barrel and come back with pornstars and fake pee tapes.

Right.

 

[CiG]

Anyway, rape and harassment victims should just shoot their assailants. Bring back Pam Grier feminism.

 

[Matt]

Trump is fucking prick. I didn't think he would be this much of an asshole, but here we are.
