Republican Mississippi Gubernatorial Candidate Diagnosed With Gynophobia

Republican state Representative Robert Foster refuses to be interviewed alone by female reporters over fear that "the optics of the candidate with a woman, even a working reporter, could be used in a smear campaign to insinuate an extramarital affair," according to the female reporter he refused to meet with.

Seriously?

Or is this to throw reporters off the scent of something else because he doesn't think anyone would believe that a married man could have an extramarital affair with another man?

I find myself avoiding being left alone with females that I work with, if I go into an office I leave the door open. When I visit customers, I avoid dealing with females by themselves if possible. Looking at cases that make national news like Tawana Brawley, the Kavanaugh appointment, and cases I personally know about. All it takes to really screw over a guy is an accusation. I work as a technical instructor at times teaching aircraft maintenance, a male student made a comment in class, a female student didn't like the comment and attributed it to me. Then there was a whole evolution of discussions with me explaining what happened and who said what. A man avoiding putting himself in that position is just self preservation in todays world. Everyone wants to be part of "me too".

@Roadsterrider You are not the only one

@Roadsterrider What about being alone behind a closed door with a man or a dog? You never can be too careful. In fact, even being alone behind a closed door could lead to questions... if you know what I mean. If you ask me, it would be best to remove all doors and replace solid walls with glass. You know... to be on the safe side.

@MarkPaul You mean like at the dnc?

@sunsporter1649 No, I mean at the White House.

@MarkPaul I can't think of very many cases where a man made sexual harassment claims against another man. There may be in the future but for the moment I feel safer if I just keep doing what I am doing. As far as I know, there has never been any case of a dog pressing charges against a man or woman. Then there is the fact that my experience includes a woman who falsely accused me of harassment, maybe I am just a little gun shy.

Obviously, you don't follow the news closely enough. 😂

Jesse Clinton Allen was also photographed engaging in several sex acts with a dog, something he later told police had been “going on for some time.”

Allen pleaded no contest Tuesday to two counts of sexual activity involving an animal.

According to his plea agreement, Allen must have psycho-sexual evaluation and counseling. He must register with the county’s animal abuse registry.

@beckyromero But did the dog press charges or was it a concerned citizen who did it on the dogs behalf?

@Roadsterrider

"Concerned citizens" don't "press charges."

Prosecutors do.

And in this case, prosecutors did so on behalf of the dog.
