I worked for Mike Pence. Being a woman never held me back.
The Washington Post ^ | 4/1/17 | Mary Vought

Washington will swallow your soul if you let it. It’s a place where many moral compasses go to die. So maybe it shouldn’t come as a surprise that the Vice President of the United States is ridiculed when it’s reported that he’s spent his time in office choosing to live his life differently from the D.C. status quo.

Since a Washington Post profile of Karen Pence, the vice president’s wife, appeared last week, critics have obsessed over a single line, which reported that, as of 2002, the vice president doesn’t dine alone with women other than his wife. At the Atlantic, the New Yorker and other venues, writers have argued that Pence’s preference amounts to a discriminatory policy against women employees, leading to them being left out of important meetings that could boost their careers.

That sounds remarkably like a complaint that they cannot sleep their way up corporate structure...

Most Americans respect Mike Pence for respecting his marriage.

I’ll take Mike Pence’s idea of how to treat women over Bill Clinton’s any day, week, month......

Bill Clinton gives women complete access. To his zippered trousers.

After Joe “lears at little girls” Biden, this seems very refreshing.

A lot of women worked for Trump. Being a woman never held them back.

Well, it’s obvious to me that most of these women who are upset about his not dining alone with anyone but his wife; are really, in effect, showing their envy that their spouse or boyfriend does not show them the same kind of treatment.

Actually, what VP Pence is doing, is honoring his relationship and commitment to his wife. He will never give her a reason to doubt his love for her.

It’s very honorable .. most of the men in D.C. don’t even understand what that means.
