  What’s honor oppression?

  I also find it slightly humorous that Sweden here is importing migrants and then forcing them to strip aspects of their culture. You would think the people welcoming the migrants would want them to keep their culture intact.

    Honour-based oppression aims to control relatives, to prevent them from behaving in a manner that risks violating the honour of a man, the family, relatives or the collective.

    You’ve probably heard of someone “honor killing” their daughter for “bringing shame” or some bullshit. That is a type of honor oppression
