Look, guys. No matter what a girl does, no matter how she’s dressed, no matter how much she’s had to drink, it’s never, never, never, never, never okay to touch her without her consent. That doesn’t make you a man, it makes you a coward.

Vice President Joe “the BAMF” Biden, in a speech launching the federal government’s campaign to fight sexual violence on college campuses (via girl-non-grata)

It’s really sad that I had to check the source AND doublecheck that it wasn’t a fake page before I was able to believe that a man actually said this. 

But, wow, go Vice Prez.  You get it.  Does anyone have pics of the actual campaign stuff?

(via notcuddles)

I’ve seen this response probably HUNDREDS of times as this quote makes the rounds, and it really depresses me. It shows how little play the issue of violence against women gets in the mainstream if the overwhelming majority of people know nothing about the Vice President fighting domestic violence and sexual assault for DECADES of his career. Considering his political career, it’s really no surprise at all that Biden would say this. I’m glad this quote has been reblogged so much because I want Biden to get credit he deserves for all the good works he’s done on behalf of women. I want people to NOT be surprised when they hear him say the things he’s been saying for years.

Yes, MEN DO CARE about women.
