Some senators and representatives working on Capitol Hill refuse to be alone with their female staffers in case 'negative assumptions' are made about the nature of their relationships, an explosive new report reveals.
The male congressmen go so far as to bar female staffers from attending high-level meetings and evening and weekend events that would entail one-on-one contact, according to the National Journal survey.
They also reportedly refuse to drive alone with women or even sit down with them in their office for fear that others will misinterpret their relationship as inappropriate in an era of political sex scandals.
In doing so, the men are 'making it harder' for women to do their jobs and progress as congressional staffers.

Good plan. I will never hire a female or agrieved double plus good more equal victim group member. Two of my best employees are ex con felons. They don’t complain And enjoy their work.
Really. I’m a bit older (55), but when I was in my younger playing days, it was not like that at all. But I do understand you have to protect yourself, but protecting yourself against other guys is where we are, I guess. Of course, you could coach females, too.
Well I heard this years ago about Billy Graham I think it was.
But, as a bookkeeper this would make it impossible for me to do my job at times, so I don’t know.
Maybe you need to make sure you don’t have a bunch of lying whores working for you.
Bill Clinton types, sure they will spend late hours with attractive females. But not if one is a Romney, a Santorum, a Huckabee, etc.
Dental Assistant Fired For Being 'Irresistible' Is 'Devastated' www.freerepublic.com/focus/news/2971807/posts
That is not paranoia just wisdom.
I have known a number of pastors who would do the same. If they needed to speak privately with a female they would have their wives sit in.
None of then ever had even a whiff of sexual scandal around their ministry.
heh heh
I know the dentist and the dental assistant in that story. It was the dentist’s wife who objected.
To each his own, but if that woman is “irresistible” I’m Sophia Lauren, which I am most certainly not.
Though she is attractive, I wouldn't "normally" call her irresistible.
BUT...she is attractive. Dentists and hygeniests have to work in close quarters.
Add to that a nice perfume.
Maybe some slightly revealing or enticing clothing.
A friendly personality, enhanced by the personal relationship.
Add to that, days where the home life gets a little tense.
It doesn't take much for a guy. Stealing a second glance, here and there, and you're already going down the slippery slope.
Entertaining tempting thoughts.
Frustration at home.
Boredom.
Never underestimate male hormones.
(Or blood deprivation from the brain)
It's the foolish man who thinks he can resist.
Maybe he can. But it's not wise to put one in that position.
I don’t blame them. It’s a smart thing to do.
