Robert Foster Insists On Chaperone For Interview With Larrison Campbell by BabaCommander: 7:22am On Jul 12, 2019
Way to go?

A US politician, Robert Foster who is biding to be Mississippi governor has refused to travel alone with a female reporter that wants to interview him.

Is it time men adopt this policy to avoid frivolous accusations?



A Republican candidate for Mississippi governor has refused to be interviewed by a female reporter unless she brings a male colleague with her.
Larrison Campbell, 40, said she had asked to shadow Robert Foster on a 15-hour "ride-a-long" on his campaign, but was denied because of her sex.
Mr Foster said he was acting out of precaution and he did not want to raise any suspicions about his marriage.
"This is my truck, and in my truck we go by my rules," he said on CNN.
During the CNN interview with Campbell and Mr Foster on Thursday, the 36-year-old gubernatorial candidate cited his religion and faith, arguing he had made a vow to his wife to not be alone with someone of the opposite sex

He cited the late Christian evangelist Billy Graham, who had said he would not spend time alone with any woman who was not his wife, as well as Vice-President Mike Pence, who has said he will not eat alone with a woman other than his wife.

"I don't trust the perception that the world puts on people when they see things and they don't ask a question, they don't look to find out the truth," he said.
"Perception is a reality in this world, and I don't want to give anybody the opinion that I'm doing something that I should not be doing."
Most US women won't dine alone with opposite sex, survey suggests.

Are Mike Pence's dining habits chivalrous or sexist?
Mr Foster said following the #MeToo movement, "men are under attack all the time".

"I'm not going to allow myself to be put in a situation with any female where they can make an accusation against me" without someone else in attendance, he said.

When asked if he would allow the 15-hour interview with a man, Mr Foster said he would, adding: "I stand my ground."
Campbell, who has interviewed Mr Foster numerous times, called the decision sexist.
She argued that if she were expected to go by his rules in his truck, he should provide the male chaperone.


Mr Foster said his campaign staff was too small at the time to provide assistance.
"What you're saying here is that a woman is a sexual object first and a reporter second," Campbell told Mr Foster on Thursday.
She asked Mr Foster how he could tell voters he would be a good governor if he could not be alone in a room with a woman, citing numerous female staff members in the current governor's office.


Mr Foster said he could achieve that by leaving the door open or having people in the room next door, but that the 15-hour vehicle ride was a different situation.
The debate over Mr Foster and Campbell has drawn renewed attention to the sentiment that men are uncomfortable being with women alone.


Two years ago Mr Pence made headlines after comments he made in 2002 that he "never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won't attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side" resurfaced.
Some argue the practice is a matter of professionalism in the workplace while critics decry it as sexist and unfair to women in professional settings.

God punish those saying what he is doing is sexist, what he has done has proved he is a wise man, this is a precaution all men should follow in these days of false accusations on made men.

Some women are out there to spoil the reputation of men through their MeTooMovement.

When dealing with women always remember this lessons.

Lesson 1: Fear women.
Lesson 2: Always fear women.
Lesson 3: Always remember lesson 1 & 2

I hope when women say they can't work with men and refuse to employ men to work with then, men don't complain. This issue goes both way and as much as it is for safety, it also has a larger impact on society

"What you're saying here is that a woman is a sexual object first and a reporter second," Campbell told Mr Foster on Thursday.
She asked Mr Foster how he could tell voters he would be a good governor if he could not be alone in a room with a woman, citing numerous female staff members in the current governor's office.

But this part is crap. It is not sexist; he just does not think he is safe in close quarters with you and wants a "bodyguard".

On a separate note sha, if a white man says he is not comfortable being around black people alone so he needs a chaperone, it will come off as racist.

Look at them calling him a sexist, if he grant them their request and they end up accusing him of rape, the Media will be the first to prosecute him.

Note: There have been a high rate of rape allegations against successful and ambitious men then men in general.

Actually, there has been faaaar more true rape cases than false ones.


There has been faaaar more incidences of men abusing their privileges against women than women against men.

By your standard, we should say women should fear all men.

People are to be feared not just people of a particular gender. If you find a particular person(ni matter the gender) take precaution to protect yourself

Men are becoming careful and wise this daughters of Jezebel want to ruin peoples life, do you know how many people they destroyed their future.

For Example Dominus Straus Can, He would have been the French president if not sex scandal.

Trump is succeeding because He doesn't see them, nearly Justice Brett Kavanaugh wouldn't have made it if he did not cry with evidence, bringing an old diary he kept details of all he did with dates.

women play the victim card and draw a lot of sympathy Imagine if Marcron of France was a woman, they would have investigated if He was having affairs with his student before marrying her. Take it or leave it there was a relationship when he was a student to his wife.
many of us were sexually abused as kids by women.
false rape accusers should be punished

Now this is what they call "avoid trouble"
Some other men would give #100 to the male colleagues to go and buy KREST so that they would mistakenly find theirselves alone with the female reporter. And comman be telling us dat they didn't caught us?

So why are the false rape accusers not punished, is that not double standards, the most painful thing is that if a woman accuses someone of rape, people wouldn't listen to the man's side, they would storm all his social media accounts and give him instant judgement, even if he comes out of it his reputation is spoilt already but the accuser woman would be walking heads-up living her good life.

If you do that feminist will say women are been discriminated remember that's how the feminist struggle started that women are not given same opportunity as men. But it's better to cut off from them to avoid stories.

Weird world
Wise men learn from what happened to others ... Fools wait for it to happen to them.
Mynd, what's the ratio of men accusing women of seduction, rape etc to woman accusing men of same? Almost doesn't exist. The women folk created this situation. They are free to tow Mr Foster's line too. But many men will be saved false accusations and the stress of clearing their names towing this line.

If someone falsely accuses you of rape or any crime, there are laws for it. It is called defamation/libel. Yes, you can exercise your constitutional rights and sue
