I see, thanks, I now understand why/how their remark could be read in that way.
I feel like if people never get an outlet to showcase inaccurate ideas, they may never change them.
What you said reminds me of that fake bestseller written by a sham to make the Iraq War easier to swallow but almost all of it is inaccurate: "Honor Lost: Love and Death in Modern-Day Jordan." Worse of all, that book is most likely detrimental to real victims of honor crimes in Jordan.
