If I ever cheated on my wife, that would be 100% on me. I'm not going to do such a thing but if I did, I and I alone am to blame for it.

No progressive minded person should ever be grateful that such an antiquated, bullshit law exists. Sinema can still go screw herself with a rusty rake but its not about her.
