Notes:	This theoretical journal article explores the relationship between culture and gender inequality, focusing on the issue of domestic violence. The author argues that there are deficiencies in both cultural relativism (a reluctance to identify sexist cultural practices) and universalism (ignoring the particular experiences and values of women from specific cultures). The author explores the idea of using 'intersectionality theory' as a useful alternative approach for understanding domestic violence in minority cultures, to move away from the binary debate around universalism versus cultural relativism.
