As the Washington Post reported earlier this week, Mike Pence has a rule that he will never dine alone with a woman who is not his wife. Although Mike Pence himself has never uninvited me to dinner, someone else has, so I can relate to any of the female campaign managers, aides or reporters he interacts with and how they may have felt. Where I thought he viewed me as an engaged student interested in the subject matter , I now felt sexualized. Once I explained how it made me feel, we had an incredibly candid and fruitful conversation. I understood his insecurities (how it would look, wanting to be respectful to the woman and his wife); this stuff isn’t cut and dry.
