Sheryl Sandberg If you follow the Mike Pence rule, make it fair to women,
SAN FRANCISCO — Sheryl Sandberg has a message for men: If you follow the Mike Pence rule, amend it so it's fair to women.
The rule, named for the vice president, made headlines after a reference was spotted in a Washington Post profile of his wife Karen Pence. "In 2002, Mike Pence told the Hill that he never eats alone with a woman other than his wife and that he won’t attend events featuring alcohol without her by his side, either."
The rule, common in evangelical circles, triggered criticism that it deprives women of informal networking opportunities that could advance their careers. With the flood of #MeToo revelations, more men have said they have implemented the Pence rule.
