Vox.com producer and correspondent Liz Plank said on Sunday that Vice President Mike Pences marriage rules about not dining alone with women other than his wife are different from Donald Trumps hostile sexism, but its still demeaning and treats women as unequal to men.

MSNBCs Richard Lui asked Plank if its sexist that Pence wont dine alone with anyone other than his wife Karen and will not attend events where alcohol is being served without her at his side.

Yes, its sexist, Plank said matter-of-factly. But I think its a different kind of sexism than were used to seeing.

We have two men in the White House, she said, one who brags openly about sexually assaulting women and another one who doesnt want to eat alone with a woman.

This isnt the kind of hostile sexism we see from someone like Trump, Plank said, its benevolent sexism, which is still a form of discrimination, but its sexism with a smile.

This kind of sexism is rooted in the belief that women and men are fundamentally different and that women can be excluded from very important parts of society because they are women.

Its emblematic, she said, of the antiquated view that a lot of members of the GOP have of women.

If you look at the way Mike Pence and Donald Trump have conducted themselves in the White House, signing executive orders restricting womens reproductive rights without a woman in the room, Plank said, you can see where their priorities really lie.
