It’s Not Just Mike Pence. Americans Are Wary of Being Alone With the Opposite Sex.
This is insane. I thought it was the land of the free except Mike Pence's home state.
60% of women, and 48% of men think having a drink alone with the opposite sex who isn't your spouse is inappropriate.
53% of women, and 45% of men think having dinner alone with the opposite sex who isn't your spouse is inappropriate.
44% of women and 36% of men think having lunch alone with the opposite sex who isn't your spouse is inappropriate.
I have drinks, lunches and dinners with married and engaged women every week. Crikey, if only I picked single women my pool would expand!
The worst is that statistic at the bottom. 34% of evangelicals think having a work meeting with the opposite sex who isn't your spouse is appropriate. I have female direct reports. I'm never going to have a one on one with them if I'm evangelical. And whomever thought that having a work meeting *WITH* your spouse alone in a conference room with a closed door is at all appropriate? That would ring even more alarm bells.
