I wonder how Billy's wife feels about this?

Don't worry, girl. It's the only thing they can corrupt you with in spine worship, only place of their pleasing value. I ran the argument through myself. I've been destroyed because of my unclean thought-process and all the affairs that I didnt have as well as not even thinking that in the first place. To get around the argument, just cut it out. Your desire won't be there then to corrupt or lie to not not denial. You don't have to spend your life tangled in modern psychology or the world of unequal equals. If you wish to be, you can take any form you like.

I agree with Sarah. Sadly there are some men who will woo a woman leader for sex or, as Nikki Haley implies, brag about exploits that never occurred - all with an ulterior motive of making the woman look bad. To guard against damage from this type of attack, in my new book, Cracking the Double Standard Code I urge readers to develop personal rules that include avoiding unnecessary socializing. Advice offered in the chapter There is no Morning After Pill includes minimizing after-hours contact with coworkers - and using aides as confidants is definitely a no-no. While those alleged really long conversations held in the wee hours between Nikki Haley and one of her accusers are not proof of an affair, it is demonstrative to women leaders how they must guard against their personal lives spilling into their professional lives to avoid exploitation by opponents.
