“An even more personally disturbing policy that my church’s denomination has is that the pastors cannot meet alone with a woman unless there is a third party present. While I respect the intention of the rule, it makes meeting with the guy I work with challenging at times. He’s suggested we meet at church during the worship service so we won’t be alone. Frankly, this never comes up in business and I find it demeaning—like there is something innately tempting about me just because I’m a woman. On a practical level, it continues the cycle of male leadership since it’s easier for them to get together with other men. Working with a woman adds an extra step.”
