The subject of VP Mike Pence’s philosophy when it comes to his marriage has made many on the Left scratching their heads and trying to spin it into a “sexism” story. Mother Jones’ Editor in Chief Clara Jeffery, who has previously compared Trump’s election win to 9/11, jumped to some conclusions:
1/ If Pence won't eat dinner alone with any woman but his wife, that means he won't hire women in key spots.
— Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) March 29, 2017
2/ There are a zillion threads out there about the Pences extra suffocating habits, but the key one is this.

3/ If Pence won't eat with a woman alone, how could a woman be Chief of Staff, or lawyer, campaign manager, or…

4/ Would Pence dine with Ivanka? Or KellyAnne? Or are they too relegated to second class citizens.
— Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) March 29, 2017
5/ For that matter, how would he ever even interview a woman. With a chaperone?
— Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) March 29, 2017
6/ It means that female reporters, also, would be cut out of his information flow, now and in the past.

7/ I don't know/care if Pences have weird hangups. I do care if women are being denied jobs and opportunities, and that some normalize this.
— Clara Jeffery (@ClaraJeffery) March 29, 2017
8/ Has Pence in his career had a woman high up in any campaign, administration, private practice, radio show or think-tank?

10/ For anybody thinking "hey the boss doesn't dine with employees" a) wrong b) REALLY wrong if a politician or any road trip heavy job

Has Pence in his career had women in “high up” positions working with him?

His Lt Gov when he ran for governor was a woman. So yes.

Jeffery’s game of “connect the dots” didn’t work out too well.
My husband has over a dozen female employees, including his marketing head & top salesperson. He's never eaten dinner alone with any of them https://t.co/cA8WOpPSps

Pay attention kiddos. If you've been wondering what a non sequitur is, Clara served it up on a plate for you.
Enjoy. https://t.co/NdA9gfpauO
