Vice President Joseph Biden commemorates 20th Anniversary of the Violence Against Women Act at the National Archives
Long before betraying women by endorsing the farce that men can become women, Joe Biden has been spending his political career riding on the skirt-tails of women to advance his political agenda. While Biden certainly has nothing good to show from his forty-plus years in federal government prior to taking over the White House, he is perhaps best known for being the primary Senate sponsor of the Violence Against Women Act, or VAWA. Much like the supposed Equal Rights Amendment and the Affordable Care Act, the real intention of the bill is far different from the title it was given.
Phyllis Schlafly often referred to VAWA as a “boondoggle,” and for good reason. That sweet-sounding piece of legislation amounted to a billion dollars per year flowing into the feminists’ coffers, and that was when a billion dollars was a lot of money for the federal government. It is no wonder Phyllis called Senator Joe Biden “the radical feminists’ good buddy.” Biden also worked to give unfettered access to free lawyers for women who want to make domestic violence accusations, while also giving these lawyers unfettered access to piles of government cash.
No one was better at summing up this boondoggle than Phyllis, who said, “All this ‘domestic violence’ legislation is based on the feminist myths that men are naturally batterers, that women are naturally victims of an oppressive patriarchal society, and that women’s accusations should be believed regardless of evidence.”
Yet, fifteen years after Phyllis Schlafly wrote those immortal words, American politicians can’t decide whether men are evil oppressors or just figments of our imagination. Yet feminists still want to punish boys and men just for fulfilling the role they naturally occupy as protectors. The myth of toxic masculinity has no more truth to it now than it did when Joe Biden first went to Washington as dinosaurs roamed the earth. Our laws should not pit men against women. They should promote the natural bonds of marriage and family which are the greatest force for women’s equality in human history. Phyllis Schlafly knew this to be true, and today’s conservatives should follow her lead.
