Joe Bidens amazing commentary on Ray Rice beating of fiance.. Its never, never, never the womans fault. No man has a right to raise a hand to a woman. No means no. The one regret I have is we call it domestic violence as if its a domesticated cat. It is the most vicious form of violence there is, because not only the physical scars are left, the psychological scars that are left. This whole culture for so long has put the onus on the woman. What were you wearing? What did you say? What did you do to provoke? That is never the appropriate question. And! The next challenge is making sure, ironically, we get college presidents and colleges to understand that they have a responsibility for the safety of women on their campus. They have a responsibility to do what we know from great experience works. Bringing the experts. Provide people, give the young woman the support that she needs. Psychological support. the medical support, and if need be, the legal support. Societal changes taking place. It takes time. But I really believe its taking root, and we have an obligation to just keep pushing it.
