Pence is looking like a genius for this after the last couple of weeks. With the "believe all accusers" rule now in place, best be careful.

But remember how widely Pence was attacked for this when he made these statements?

Mike Pence is a wise man. Better to be certain no accusations can ever credibly be made.

When I was at The Basic School learning how to be an Officer of Marines, we all were advised that during counseling sessions with female Marines, never be alone with them.

Wisdom, not sexism.

Certainly far above the radical leftist media on this one. Choke on it MSM.

I don't recall if Pence ever said why he wouldn't dine alone with a women that wasn't his wife.

But now we know.

I believe I read that the Reverend Billy Graham exercised this same kind of restraint.

That is something the Billy Graham Crusade did early on.

None of their people could be alone with a woman, not their wife in a situation which could be seen as improper.

Just goes to show, they make an argument no matter what you do. Dine alone, you are a pervert, refuse to dine alone, you are a sexist.

The Torah Moses gave us is filled with useful advice like that.

If not dining alone with a woman is sexist, we’ve got a damned if you do and damned if you don’t situation. Everyone’s guilty of something!!

Since people are so lawsuit thirsty, I would say it’s smart.

I had a female “problem child” that worked for me many years ago. She managed to get her previous two supervisors fired by alleging that they came on to her. We had a policy that no men would be allowed to go into a room alone with her. Whenever she got reprimanded we made sure we had plenty of witnesses.

I remember when that story came out as the left attempted to paint Pence as some kind of neanderthal woman hater.

As a Christian, Pence is rigid about self-accountability. Who’s laughing now?

The Pences adopted a smart personal policy.

As events have evolved, the Vice-President would have been a premier target of sexual misconduct charges by one or more money-seeking, lying accusers because of his open Christian beliefs.

This is orthodox Judaism 101, no seclusion with a woman who is not one’s wife.

Curious - - is this a common practice of any Christian sect or just the VP kicking it old-(Testament) school?

Of course it’s sexist. But for some it is absolutely essential. Life is sexist.

Is it sexist?

Perhaps, but for a politician subject to scandal accusations, it is also prudent.

It’s smart

I’ tend to follow that logic myself actually

Though back when I had a full time gal I took he to lunch

We were buddies and she liked me but I never abused the relationship of boss and employee

Never

But she was built ..whew

She ran off with a friend of mine to the wilds of Kentucky

I like to bring my wife to serious business meetings anyhow

She charms men and chills women

It works

Ramifications of not being alone with a woman ... means Pence have a confidential conversation with a woman. That certainly puts Pence and women at a disadvantage in the game of politics.
