If you want to see everyone's voting record, @theguardian.com has you covered there, too.

Props to The Guardian's reporting for making sure that the names were bolded and the lack of consequences to these senators were called out for everyone to see.

I'm sure that's a complete coincidence, though. Definitely.

Angus King (ME), Maggie Hassan (NH), John Fetterman (PA), Richard Durbin (IL), Jeanne Shaheen (NH), Catherine Cortez Masto (NV), and Tim Kaine (VA) were the non-Republicans who passed the vote, for anyone who was wondering.

Fun fact: None of them are up for re-election in 2026.

This goes double for white, cisgender, straight men, to be clear. I think back on that Leslie Knope quote a lot...)

(Back in college, I studied sexual assault on college campuses and the response that universities and communities had to them, so this topic is one that always hits home pretty hard for me. So, SO often men are given a pass and everyone doesn't want to "ruin their future."

If you're reading Vance's words and thinking "Well, that's ridiculous" then congrats—you're right!

Just make sure that you aren't turning around to explain that some man in your life is a "boy who didn't know better."

Adults make their own choices, and they are responsible for the consequences.

I have watched grown-ass men have their behavior excused by other adults around them with a "they're young." As a 25-year-old, I sat in professional business meetings with coworkers who explained to me that their 20-something-year-old sons couldn't possibly be expected to function like an adult.

I wouldn't even bother with a quote like this typically, because it's so obviously absurd, but this one hits a different place than most.

Because he is not the only one who thinks this. "Boys will be boys" is STILL a problem phrase that people like to say.
