'It would be ironic if men ended up with male chaperones because they felt they couldn't have a conversation with a woman without having someone with them who could testify that nothing untoward had happened.'
Mike Pence might not be everyone's cup of tea, but his stance on not being alone with other women is pure common sense, certain members of their tribe have brought this entirely on their collective heads.
I served a term as a London Borough Councillor. I recorded every meeting and interaction with officers, school meetings. Why? Because they are heavily into character assassination from which there is otherwise no escape. My precautions let you the resignation of a senior director who'd tried to stitch me up after his department almost cause the suicide of an innocent man who was the target of a vicious divorce case. The blob needs to be tamed the terms of employment clearly defined and political activity and party membership forbidden if in a government or senior local government public sector post.
No time for Pence but as for women, there are proper women I’m delighted to have dinner with … never had a boring dinner yet … and then there are the barge pole demi-women, inc. AOC, Clinton, Yasmin whatever, Codswallop, Rayner, Harbag, Hewitt, Freland, that MO with the ankle bracelet, Sparkle, Taylor Swift, Beyonce, Teigen … the list goes on and on and on and on.
Quite apart from the conversation or lack of it and the total lack of allure either way, there are the twin dangers of what you’d be accused of and not knowing where she’s been.
"...certain members of their tribe have brought this entirely on their collective heads."
Sadly true!

Totally agree! The rise of Ring doorbells and self-videoing has acted as a brake on some sectors of society, but sadly, an accelerator on others...
