It seems like kind of an outdated moral, at least in the sense that you describe it. I do though, like thinking of honor as a less serious term and more about your connection with others (strangers and friends alike) and the mutual respect you share.Ridley Tankersleyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01832238976958919949noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322459368009158884.post-14907598225259839282015-02-25T13:41:08.655-08:002015-02-25T13:41:08.655-08:00This is pretty much on point from my perspective a...This is pretty much on point from my perspective as well. The idea was just so general, and all of his examples have to do with violence against women, but he never addresses internalized misogyny. Like, dude. Come on.

I honestly had no idea what he was talking about for most of it. It's super interesting that you came at this from a feminist standpoint. I am a feminist and I totally agree with everything you said about it, but I guess I was not thinking critically enough about it to come up with those ideas on my own.Lucy B.https://www.blogger.com/profile/13307104012344456759noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8322459368009158884.post-73680897291433161982015-02-25T11:13:10.879-08:002015-02-25T11:13:10.879-08:00I also have that association between "honor&q...I also have that association between "honor" and "male chivalry." Appiah clearly wants to help the women who are suffering in these violent situations, but he failed to ever talk about the women and their agency. Also, his use of female pronouns through his speech felt rather forced.Olivia Rowehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07776721693480905387noreply@blogger.com
