Not honorable

This is shameful.

We allow language to mask so much -- our biases, our embarrassment, our ignorance -- but can we please call this what it is? Any culture which allows even the slimmest bit of gray area for men to brutally slay (not "honor kill") women in this manner values the male ego over female life. Pride and reputation are more important than family? I don't understand this. I'm glad I don't understand this.

I don't want to be accused of ethnocentricity, but how can anyone think that way?
