An Uncomfortable Topic

[fncceo]

A "third rail" topic in history if there ever was one, the "comfort women" issue is another aspect of WWII that has been taken over by the political concerns of today. Over the past several decades, South Korea has used the issue as a highly reliable button to push whenever they need to distract their public and/or pressure Japan over some unrelated political matter.

To be clear, even one woman forced into sex against her will under any circumstances is an outrage against humanity itself, and even voluntary prostitution is immoral and a form of violence against all women.

That having been said, the majority of the women involved in sexual services during WWII were prostitutes compensated for their 'work.'




Here it comes...

If Japan feels uncomfortable with their past, I guess the Japanese shouldn't have taken all those sex slaves, huh?

The point is that almost all of them weren’t “slaves,” but compensated professional sex workers.

And Nanjing was a fraternity prank.

History sounds so much better when you can just change what you don't like.

You quote no sources to back this assertion. Historical events must always be open to reinterpretation but you need to back it up with facts.

If one woman chooses to offer sexual services for money it is in no way violence against all women

Yes, it is.

No it is not



Sent from my SM-N960U using Tapatalk

It absolutely is. Not only in principle but in fact.

So you have proof that because a woman in France agrees to have sex for money a direct link to violence against a woman in the US exists

Does this dude always talk about obscure things from angles no one else could possibly imagine?

No dis to the OP....but you're definitely way way outside the box

There are many documents - US, Dutch, other Allied nations and those seized from Japan at the end of the war that verify it.

Amazingly the term "hooker" still persists today even though it was based on Union General Joe Hooker's brigade during the Civil War.

 

[Persistence Of Memory]

I can bet that most of the Korean and Japanese women didn't even feel a god damned thing.

 

[Unkotare]

Another fact that is very rarely acknowledged is that when US occupation forces entered Japan after surrender, "comfort women" stations were set up to 'service' US military men (exactly the same sort of thing). Business was brisk.

It's odd that China's Communist government wants Japan to apologize for the comfort women and for the Nanking Massacre, but the Chinese government has never apologized for murdering 30 million Chinese during the Mao Tsetung era.

I've noticed that most of those who attack Japan for not apologizing for the comfort women or the Nanking Massacre don't seem to care that China has never apologized for Mao's reign of mass murder, nor do they seem to care that Soviet troops raped millions of women as they marched across Eastern Europe.

Maybe Japan has not apologized enough to satisfy her critics because Japan knows the other side of the story.
