Not to be super depressing, but consider that family annihilators make big press. Dads killing their daughters for whatever reason rarely goes national, and unless it’s sensational there’s not a lot of discussion about the motive of each case. Whenever the subject of honor killings comes up, I always thinking about the fact that we don’t have an equivalent label for “the motive of the dad killing his kid” which sort of makes the discussion of “what we do versus what they do” difficult.

Yes, given the number of times that there is no motive beyond the murky motives of a psychopath.
