      Yes, a culture in which 'honour' killing women is illegal prosecuted & punished harshly is better than one in which it's legal or condoned.

      This remains true even if the former culture has not succeeded in eradicating violent criminals. The system is much better for women.

      It's no good saying it's equivalent because the women are equally dead unless you truly think systemic human rights abuses don't matter.

      The 'violent offender acting against social norms' problem is a different one to the 'violent social norms' problem.

      Its extremely unlikely violent criminals will cease to exist. We don't judge a society by them but by how it responds to them.

      Ours tends to judge men committing violence against women more harshly than women committing violence against men. Male entitlement? Where?

          This doesn't mean that violent misogynistic men don't exist. It just means their attitudes & actions are in opposition to societal norms.

          This matters when working out how to deal with the problem. Blaming 'society' or 'men' is unlikely to be beneficial.

          This is so pertinent to an argument I had interjected myself in when I should have known better.

          That is the one I am responding to. I saw it. No point interjecting as you know.

          One bloke here once told me that I should never hit a man, because they can't hit a woman back.

          Ain't he right? Is there something more cowardly than hitting someone that can't fight back no matter the reason why?

          If I ever hit anyone, it will be in defense, so his comment is irrelevant.

          Tbf, the grey is the comparison with 'some men's' crimes against women vs 'some other men's' crime. This is where the entitlement exists...
