Robert Foster, the Republican state lawmaker running for governor of Mississippi, turned down a journalist’s request to shadow him on the campaign trail because he said he refuses to be alone with a woman other than his wife. (Rogelio V. Solis/AP)
Is Robert wrong for making this request? More and more men nowadays are feeling uncomfortable being alone with women especially in professional settings. Are these feelings justified or are they merely overreactions?

In the metoo era, it’s probably wise. It might’ve seemed old fashioned before but now it’s just a good idea.
@SW-User Wouldn't it be easier to just not sexually harass/assault the journalist?

It’s honestly not too different to when doctors make sure there’s a third person in the room. They do it to protect themselves, and there’s nothing wrong with wanting a third person in the room if either party isn’t 100% comfortable. @SW-User
