"In my house, being raised with a sister and three brothers, there was an absolute--it was a nuclear sanction, if under any circumstances, for any reason, no matter how justified, even self-defense–-if you ever touched your sister, not figuratively, literally. My sister, who is my best friend, my campaign manager, my confidante, grew up with absolute impunity in our household. And I have the bruises to prove it. I mean that sincerely. I am not exaggerating when I say that."Senator Joseph R. Biden, Jr., Democrat from Delaware, principal sponsor of Violence Against Women Act which he refuses to make gender neutral to protect the other half of the victims of abuse--meaning the males who make up half of the victim total.
