Another twisted New York Times columnist

I missed this column last week while on vacation, but Rick Garnett directed attention to it at Mirror of Justice. According to NYT columnist Judith Warner, dads who encourage their daughters to wait for sex until marriage are distinguishable only by slight degree from dads who imprison their daughters in dungeons and rape them repeatedly. Warner expresses "horror" at the commitment of evangelical fathers to protect their daughters' purity, a protection she labels "emotional violence." And, in Warner's twisted worldview, fathers who affirm the beauty of their daughters commit emotional incest.

And liberals wonder why we call it a culture war.
