Pence's Marriage

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

Basic biology means that there will often be attraction between men and women who spend a lot of time in close proximity. Political correctness doesn't change that.

How many times a day can you mention that?

It's gotten funny, actually.

Oh, and we were NEVER alone. There were always staff & patrons around.

I actually wasn't talking about you, I was talking in general, but hey, if you want to take it that way...

So, when you were sleeping with your then BF, there were staff and patrons around? EWWW!

I call shenanigans...

Oh, FFS, BEFORE anything happened...

MY POINT is that a man and woman don't HAVE to be ALONE together to fall in love.

But, there came a point when you weren't alone. And if you had never BEEN left alone, then you wouldn't have consummated the relationship. And I don't believe for one minute that you fell in love while all those people were hanging around.

What a surprise!

Ohfour called me a liar again. He was my boss, we became friends very gradually. During those years, I was a single parent, I was a librarian, but nothing else. There was no time.

And just because it didn't happen that way to YOU doesn't mean it didn't happen that way to ME.

I don't know why I even bother...

WYSIWYG · Guru

How can you say you agree it's his choice then turn around and say what he should do?.
- Tinydancer

_______________________________

It's the difference between "should" and "must". You do know the difference between the two, right? I'm not saying he has to do anything. He should treat women and men equally. He's free to be a complete ass that believes that women don't deserve equality if he wants to, or he can be a gentleman that sees women as equals to men. Freedom to choose.

WYSIWYG · Guru

You cannot be serious. First of all, males tend to bond with males and vice versa. They socialize more - golf, etc. Women do it, too. I spend much more time with female co-workers because we have more in common. People are allowed to socialize and choose FRIENDS they want to dine with all they want.
- Lawyerlady

_________________________________________

Agreed. People are allowed to socialize and choose their friends. Public servants are not allowed to choose who they will work with based on sex though. And as long as he keeps socializing to exactly that, and limits this segregation by gender to only non-work, then it's perfectly acceptable. Problem is he's already proven that he won't do that.

"
He even goes so far as to require any aide working late with him to be male.

Obviously it's YOU who doesn't know the difference between "should" and "must". Who the flip cares what YOU think Pence "should" or "must" do in his own freaking marriage. I and many others consider him a gentleman for doing exactly what he's doing and your opinion is just that, an opinion.

Tinydancer · Guru

So public servants give up all rights to their private lives? Do you think anyone would ever run for office if that was really true? Please cite some law or precedent that corroborates this ridiculous argument.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

This has crossed over into the realm of the absurd.

This is the lamest NONSTORY i have ever heard. But, you should see them going APESCHIT all over the internet! LOL!

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

I hope they lie awake at night for the next 4 years obsessing over this!

Can no one see how this benefits the woman, just as much, as Pence?

It protects HER as well.

She doesn't get the rumors either.

Look! There is a member of Congress meeting with the VP in a PUBLIC restaurant and talking POLITICS.

The horror!

flan

Tinydancer · Guru

The horror is the fact that even though there is absolutely nothing going on between them She or someone who sees them together can say or insinuate anything they want to. It has and will continue to happen. He is protecting himself from those (like you) who always want to believe the worst about someone THEY don't like.

Lady Gaga Snerd · Guru

Bingo!!!!!!!!!

FNW · Guru

Well, so far, no women has come forward and claimed she was denied equal access and equal treatment. So there's that.

Lawyerlady · On the bright side...... Christmas is coming! (Mod)

EXACTLY. So it's a non-issue. He's been a public servant for YEARS. It hasn't been an issue until the lib got their panties in a wad because he's taking the moral high ground.

Forever Sunshine · Guru

I'm going to venture a guess here but it seems to me the women who have not been faithful, in their or someone else's marriage, are the ones who are screaming this is not fair that Pence has made a decision to NOT dine with a woman alone in a restaurant for the sake of his career, which hasn't been hurt at all by this, and for his marriage.

Tinydancer · Guru

I do what's best for MY marriage as does VP Pence obviously. If this wouldn't work for YOUR marriage then don't do it but don't expect everyone else to do what you do. Some people don't honor theirs or anyone else marriage so it makes them feel better to whine when some one does.

Damn straight. Please look at the title of the thread - it is PENCE'S marriage, and he doesn't have to justify morality to the immoral.

Proving the point. The most immoral people I've even come across.

FNW · Guru

None of the women who worked for him question his decision. Their opinion matters more, IMO.

Lindley · Guru

Regardless whether he dines alone with a female or not is a non issue. As vice President he will most likely never be dining alone with anyone.
I can guess that those talking about it on other boards are only making a big deal about it because they don't like him because he is republican.

FNW · Guru

Bingo, Lindley. And because they look for inequality under every stone.

Pence is a very good guy. If the worst you can come up with is that he honors God and his wife, it's no wonder no one stands a chance against him.

And you must live in a very backward part of the state if they won't elect women. Maybe the problem is they won't elect LIBERAL women.

He may be "good," but he's not good for women's rights.

Indiana has ALWAYS been Conservative. Indianapolis is one of the more LIBERAL cities, but we're outnumbered.

I was responding to FNW's post, which was NOT about electing a woman, it was about a woman questioning his decision.

Why is he not good for women's rights? Because he doesn't think killing unborn children is a "right"?

Well, I certainly HOPE he doesn't treat other women the same was he treats his wife!

Lindley · Guru

Regardless, he was only talking about himself and his marriage. He wasn't saying nobody else should do it either he was only talking about himself. This shouldn't even be a issue.

just Czech · Give Me Grand's!

Pence, by honoring his wife, is in fact showing honor for all women.

That should be enough.

Sand wedger's think otherwise..
