Tennessee Republican David Hooven has vowed not to be alone with “a member of another sex” if elected to the state’s House of Representatives, as “from Presidents to janitors all are tempted.” Hooven made the pledge on his official campaign website, where he said that if elected “my primary focus will be to honor God.”
I find it super weird that all these men who claim to be super-religious simultaneously claim that they don’t have control over their own animal urges. He is basically saying “All men are tempted by all women, and there’s nothing I can do about it, so we should just eject unescorted women from anything important, for their own protection, because I can’t be trusted”.
Thats bullshit. That man took a (presumably religious) vow to honor his wife, and shouldn’t expect the rest of the world to perform the hard part of that vow for him.
And if you think such a man wouldn’t vote to make it a crime to be alone with someone of the opposite sex who isn’t your spouse then you haven’t been paying attention. They want us to become Gilead.
