Interesting. You could also say the same, approximately, for Peta Wilson of Nikita and Piper Perabo in Covert Affairs. It seems there is this continue internal fight to reconcile what you're doing and are forced to do with the greater good and your own set of sensibilities. There exists the tendency that women are much better at following rules than men. Men, I think, are able to compartmentalize their thinking more easily. Not saying that men are less moralistic, but I think we may do better at temporarily suspending our morals.
