All it takes is an allegation.  
He didn't refuse her access.  He told her that a male colleague would need to be present.  Nothing at all wrong with that.

In this #MeToo era, one just cannot be too careful.  Good for him.  [/quote]

This is like f-ing sharia law. Disgusting and indefensible. [/quote]

Not even close.

If she doesn't want to have another male colleague present, she can refuse the interview.  Simple.

Nobody is forcing her to do anything she doesn't want to do.  [/quote]

Did you even read that post before you hit "submit"?

[b]Tell me how that's NOT a taliban policy.[/b][/quote]

You are seriously in need of psychiatric help.  Wow.

NP-so your answer when someone asks you to explain how this GOP candidate's policy differs from the Taliban's restrictions on women is to hurl insults?  [/quote]

That you can equate a man saying he doesn’t want to be alone with a particular woman, to the TALIBAN’s medieval restrictions on all women says more about you than any insult ever could.[/quote]

So ... did you not read the article?  Or are you saying Foster is lying? [b] He specifically said that this was not about a particular woman but that he is following the policy of a Christian fundamentalist regarding treatment of all women.[/b]
[/quote]

Where did the article state this?
He did say this rule is out of respect for his wife.  [/quote]

Why would his wife care if he met alone, for example, with a 90 year old grandma? [/quote]

Still no answer to this.

[/quote]

Folks like this don't think a 90 year old is a "woman" - "woman" to them means someone they would like to f*ck. [/quote]

So they could be a little less stringent with their chaperone requirement. Any woman who is beyond the scope of what they think is f*ckable should be able to meet alone with them, right?

Right? I mean, if we're going to say that a straight man can meet alone with another straight man because no one would believe the one would assault the other if that claim arose, then surely it should be fine for a straight man to meet with a woman who was outside his definition of attractive, because then no one would ever believe any accusations. I mean, Trump himself told us that he wouldn't have assaulted Jean Carroll because she wasn't his type. [/quote]

Can you name one instance in which a man [b]falsely[/b] accused another man of sexual assault?  No?  Didn't think so.[/quote]

No, but there are plenty of cases where men have sexually harassed and raped women. So I think that men shouldn't even be allowed to be politicians or executives.  Only women. [/quote]
