Ah, okay! We don't disagree then. Thanks for clearing that up!
ETA: Actually, with that clarification, I'd expect many others to agree as well - at least, it seems like what you mean by "custom" and what other posters have called "stuff people want you to do" coincide.
An important point is that nobody gets to unilaterally decide what is or is not custom. That's in contrast to, say, personal preference, which each person does get to decide for themselves.
Right. Though I'd argue that custom implies that morality is objective, and therefore that custom can be incorrect, so that someone can coherently say that their own society's customs are immoral (though probably from within a subculture that supports those alternate customs).
