Reza Aslan on An-nisa 34 in the Quran:

http://books.google.com/books?id=FEfdoRL1rrgC&pg=PA69...

"Men are the support of women, as god gives some more means than others, and because they spend of their wealth... As for women you feel are averse, talk to them suasively, then leave them alone in bed (without molesting them) and go to bed with them (when they are willing)." - Ahmed Ali, Princeton Edition

"Men are in charge of women because god has made some excel the others, and because they spend some of their wealth... And for those women you feel might rebel, admonish them and abandon them in their beds and beat them." - Majid Fakhry, NYU Edition

Read the whole passage. It's worth your time.
