That's why I say moral relativism doesn't really have any. All cultural norms are equally good.

Well… that's how you defined it! So of course it has that property.

Yes. So I think I understand now that you are saying that 'moral relativity' is a misnomer, based on how it is commonly expressed.

I'm not really saying that. I'm just using it to describe the belief that we should consider all cultural values equally ethical

Ok. So… regarding 'the belief […] ethical': I agree that that doesn't make much sense. If that's your point, I agree.

I thought you probably would. I argue a lot with cultural relativists & you don't seem like one. Ur coming from a different angle.

I *do* think context matters a lot for assessing morality. And I thought that there is at least a big overlap between that position and CR.

I do too but I think context is different to cultural values. I defend having consistently liberal values in every context.

Ok, I think I agree with that. (I might still disagree with you about how to apply that approach concretely.)
