It appears that you are correct, judging by a lot of the asinine replies in this thread.

So can accusations of having an affair with another man, so by the same bumbling bumpkin logic, he should surround himself exclusively with eunuchs.

Behaving like a witless, backwater misogynist is an odd way to "protect" his reputation.

Can you guess who teaches them to all think similarly and repeat the same things?Of course ooga booga socialists.
Or better yet, be one himself.
If the reporter supplies one, nobody could claim that her own chaperone was lying in favor of the politician in case of a sexual assault allegation.
On the other hand,
If she provides the female chaperone, and gets one from #metoo, and things don't work out well, .....?

And if he gets one no one could claim his own chaperone is lying in favour of the reporter.
This is ridiculous. Now they each need a chaperone. Next the chaperones are going to need to be chaperoned. And so on ...
He is the one with the problem, he should deal with this. It is not fair to place an additional burden on this reporter just because she is female.
I still remember the olden days, when "propriety" was a thing.
People didn't put themselves in situations where "misunderstandings" might cause big problems, like rape accusations or paternity suits. It simply wasn't done.
But that was then and this is now. We now live in a #metoo world, where any accusation( no matter how implausible, unsubstantiated, or long past) must be be believed because, "Feminism!"
So, while I am pretty sure that he's indulging in some political grandstanding, #metoo made the political blowback worthwhile for him. He's male, therefore any accusations made are true until proven false. And even then, the SJWs will keep repeating them in the court of social media as long as it keeps bringing advertisers to their blogs or websites or whatever.

Maybe he should the way the American public has bought into the stupid psyop.

Hey, it probably all started with how democrats continued to support Bill Clinton in spite of his impropriety. So, apparently personal conduct is no longer important. As for me, I don't vote for either party.
You mean in the olden days when women and girls were too afraid to report sexual assault and abuse. When men of wealth and power could do whatever they wanted without fear of the law.
I hope those days are over (soon).

It's disturbing how this is being defended here, and people assume she actually needed it.
So, under Trump, we find misogyny is also still very alive and thriving and becoming again socially acceptable, and it's a-ok to hold women accountable for the actions of men.

But this is ostensibly about the actions of the media.
Still, it seems a frivolous concern by the politician.

This politician said he didn't want to be accused of cheating on his wife by someone who was wanting to shadow his campaign. Or, in other words, he doesn't want to be held accountable for what he thinks and does with his dick.
That is the standards feminist shiboleth, but it doesn't appear to apply in this case.
From the article....
"A Republican candidate for Mississippi governor has been accused of sexism
after he banned a female political reporter from going on a campaign trip
without a male chaperone for fear of being accused of an extramarital affair."
If this is to be believed, it isn't about fears of what he himself might do.
From the article again, we find the (imagined, IMO) enemy....
"His campaign told her they feared if somebody took pictures of
him with Campbell, they could be used by rivals to smear him."

And he's an idiot if he actually thinks that. Pictures of him with a female shadow? Heaven forbid it means he's cheating! I can't think of many reasons for this decisions, none of them are flattery, and they all tend to sound like Pence or Saudi Arabia. We've come too far to let this fear and hysteria set back the progress women have made. This guy should be called at as the sexist he is. It's not her, it's all him.
Bingo!
