L.A. Times Prints NCFM-LA Letter Citing Data on DV

Marc Angelucci writes "Mineke Schipper is a feminist who is getting publicity for her book in which she digs up proverbs, from all over the world, that are negative toward women and then uses these proverbs to help spread stereotypes and one-sided distortions about gender and domestic violence. The Los Angeles Times ran her op-ed a few days ago. Today they printed this http://www.latimes.com/news/opinion/letters/la-le- violence23apr23,0,7034554.story?coll=la-news-comme nt-letters letter from NCFM-LA in response. Unfortunately they cut out the web link to Dr. Fiebert's bibliography, but at least they printed the letter. Note the interesting letter following it by a Rabbi who quotes female-positive proverbs from the Bible that Schipper never mentions, and then says, "I guess this makes the Bible a radical feminist document." (The web link will probably break after about a day or two.)"
