Internet shocked to hear VP Pence won't dine alone with a woman other than his wife

Weird my post disappeared. 

I personally wont be eating dinner with another woman alone, but then again I'm not in a business where I may have to.  I have had lunch with female coworkers and don't have an issue with that.  However I think this ridiculous that anyone would find an issue with him doing this.  It is petty and downright childish.  None of us know his reasoning for this so its silly at the end of the day.  As far as the internet shock and ridicule, lets not exaggerate this.  For the few  hundred people that had something to say about it there millions more that don't really care.  Let's stop making mountains out of molehills.

I can understand not being alone, as in a hotel room or a closed office with a member of the opposite gender as that leaves things to a "he said, she said" if any accusations are ever made.  When I was a supervisor I would never have a member of the opposite gender in my office alone with the door shut.  Either we had a 3rd person or we would leave the door open.  

But having a meal in a public setting makes no sense to me.  You might as well have a rule not to have a one-on-one discussion with a woman standing in church after the service is over, that could lead to just as much gossip as two people having dinner at the same table.

But yes, this was just a diversion from all that is happening in DC, those on the right can use it to distract and attack those on the left.  That way nobody is talking about us paying for a wall that we were told dozens and dozens of times Mexico would pay for.

I find it amazing that a man's free choice to show his wife respect is ridiculed at all. But to interject the idea that it is an offense to equality is a reach to levy insult. What a shame. 

 

Here is what is so insane:

Trump's enemies accuse him of being sexist.   He is sexist because he was an adulterer who allegedly objectifies women.

Mike Pence is the polar opposite of Trump.  He has never objectified women, never said anything like what Trump said, and is still married to his first and only wife.  Never committed adultery and goes the extra mile to honor his wife and marriage is now "sexist.
 

So Trump is sexist for failing to honor his marriage(s)  and  Pence is "sexist" for honoring his marriage and his wife.   Both are sexist, according to the anti-Trumpers.    Sorry, but they cannot have it both ways.  It really is a dumb argument on their part. 

So it really has nothing to do with "values."   The very people who castigated Trump over last summer about the Access Hollywood video and his "sexism,"   are the same people who are now calling "Pence" sexist for being the opposite of Trump, for being a decent, upstanding family man.

This is about hating Pence and Trump, not values. If Trump had been the model husband, they would do to him what they are now doing to Pence.

Conflict orientation isn't typically intelligent is it? It's rage motivated. To instigate rage, to nourish rage that already exists, to boil conflict, to disable peace. 

The unintelligent argument in this case of Vice President Pence loses on its face when it makes a claim of sexism against him for his honoring of his wife in this way. Unfortunately, the media that plays that card does so because it knows first that the demographic that will eat that kind of hate speech up were already full of hate for the Trump/Pence ticket when they were in the running for the office the American people later voted them into. 

That type are going to be of this mind set for four long years.  1460 long days of animus boiling inside the opponents of the reality of our current U.S. Administration. 

There's something deeply wrong with those who dig to find fault with a man who openly publicly honors his wife.

Anyone who could mock or show disdain for Mike Pence's decision to act in a respectful way has no values of their own.  They simply don't understand how a Christian chooses to act.

Amen. There's a passage that I can't recall the book it is from. It says something to the effect, for those who are in sin righteousness is something to be opposed? 
I'll have to seek it out.

I think I remember something to that effect; if you find it, please post it.  It would be very relevant to this thread.

Oh yes, I do hope to do that. If you search and find it please post as well.

I'm still not finding the exact verse that I referred to. I have found some that are close though. 

"Righteousness guards him whose way is blameless, but sin overthrows the wicked." Proverbs 13:6

"Righteousness exalts a nation, but sin is a reproach to any people." Proverbs 14:34

Could this be it?

That too is very close. Thank you. I'm searching about in different tabs using keywords. I know I've heard the verse before. For those who are in their sins righteousness is to be opposed. Or righteousness is disdain? 

 Ack, it's aggravating. I know it's there I just can't find it.
