But remember how widely Pence was attacked for this when he made these statements?
Given the pace of sexual allegations, and who is suffering the most (media/pols) I am starting to believe this campaign has organization behind it. Is it, for example, Trump and Sessions loosely releasing info via DoJ? For that reason, I believe Pence's statement was done strategically, as a kick-off, or with purpose, knowing what was coming later.
Or am I in tinfoil hat territory?
About 15 years ago a colleague of mine, a brilliant female electronics engineer, used to insist upon office doors being left open during one-on-one meetings. I found it strange at the time; but now, with recent events, I have come to fully understand her “pre-emptive” philosophy. Yes, a woman well ahead of her time.
My dad traveled with several super hot secretaries in his career having a contracting biz nation wide and private multi engines
One became my first love and boy she was a peach....does Arkansas have peaches?
Several were smoking
My miss mississippi mom trusted him rightfully
But boy my wife wouldn’t let me do that
Only one time did my mom. Put her foot down
Hard too....110 stiletto
And that secretary was gone crying gathering her stuff cleaning her desk
Mom knew when they had aims
I always thought this was more about not having some lib woman accuse him of sex harassment. He is indeed looking like a genius for having this policy.
I took a training course for volunteers at my local church 25 years ago. The crux of the training was to never put yourself in a position when you are alone with anybody who can later say you behaved in an inappropriate fashion, with a particular emphasis on children. It was not couched as protecting the children so much as designing safeguards for everybody involved, which consisted primarily of meeting in open settings or always having at least two volunteers present when dealing with anybody.
It was good training and good advice. I applied those lessons to my life in general, and have never regretted it for a minute. I have had to avoid some situations, but there has never been any problem that I could not work around.
Avoiding the appearance of impropriety, which is a prerequisite for all leadership in all fields.
Hate to add this extra little bit but . . .
DUH!!!
How obtuse the MSM can be sometimes.
Maybe Charlie Rose can do a story on Mike Pence respecting his wife.
“Damn that Mike Pence for making it so hard for us to take him down!”
***that he never dines with women alone,***
Smart move. I will always remember the come-on line to advertisements for Ann Margaret in KITTEN WITH A WHIP when she took John Forsythe hostage.
“All I have to do is mess my hair and scream! One look at me and WHO WOULD BELIEVE YOU!”
Smart move on his part but what a sad state of affairs. Sure doesn’t speak well for women.
He must have a male secretary then.
Hell no it’s not sexist ... its smart! With today’s toxic DC atmosphere, he’s the only smart one standing.
It’s called self preservation.
The de-genderizing left may call it sexist, but so what?
It’s in the book of Proverbs
This is commanded of Jews. Only the orthodox follow these commandments though. It’s a good idea for public figures who are targets for blackmail, for sure. If you are NEVER alone with a woman, you won’t even need to pay go away lawsuit money. Take her to court because no one can prove what did not happen.
No kidding. With all the poop hitting the fan, these days, it's a splendid way of ensuring that none of it gets on him.
In DC, it’s smart.
Typical how lefties project their own issues onto normal people.
The fox, whose kind has a history of eating chickens, thinks it is unfair that he is locked out of the hen house. The chickens, therefore, must slip out of the hen house and embrace the foxes to show they are open-minded about individual foxes. This is called ‘inclusive’ and results in fewer chickens but fatter foxes.
