In that situation, there's no way for you to gauge that accurately. So avoid it altogether.
"Whatever that symbol means, it doesn't reflect the Coast Guard and our core values," Zorn said. "It won't be tolerated."
Mike Pence approved this message.
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.
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.
