That's the opposite of honor-based, and those stories are warnings about going down that path.

"Honor-based" has a specific meaning, and it is not good.

If the parent is torn about whether this is good or bad, they're really not paying attention.

P.S. The response to my comment is complete nonsense. "honor-based", as used here to mean acting with integrity, has nothing at all to do with honor killings.

Again, "honor-based" as used in this discussion is about integrity and has nothing to do with cultures of honor ... notably the word "based" doesn't occur anywhere in the cited material. No one is trying to change anything but someone is trolling hard (and not acting with integrity), and threats about things not going well are unwelcome.

> 1. honesty, fairness, or integrity in one's beliefs and actions.

Enough (more than enough) said. Over and out forever.

P.P.S.

"Honor-based" has a historic meaning. It is you who are attempting to change it.

That...

Usually doesn't go well.
