Vice President Biden topped a shortlist of "secret male feminists" compiled this week by PolicyMic, a political discussion forum aimed at millennials. "Sadly, publicly labeling oneself a feminist still seems to be a dangerous game for male lawmakers," PolicyMic wrote, "but those on this list of secret male feminists have been working behind the scenes, some of them for years, to enact legislation that supports women and equity." Biden took the No. 1 spot for his work on the Violence Against Women Act during his Senate tenure. The VP was joined by Rep. Barney Frank, D-Mass., Rep. Steve Cohen, D-Tenn., and former Sen. Arlen Specter, D-Pa. Congratulations to all.
