What would I like to talk about - why is rape so common in wars, and so commonly ignored or covered up? Yeah, this is WWII - but we're just acknowledging it now - and most of the male posters seem to think it's no big deal - not any sort of issue.
Would it be news if Japanese boys were forced into prostitution - how about American boys?
As for current and politics - this issue is huge in Japan - becoming larger in SE Asia, as the AIDS epidemic increases - and causing a communication breakdown between Korea and Japan which the US was mediating - but it's not getting much media play, so it mustn't be as important as bennifer and ANS's baby's father.  |
Who forced the Japanese women into prostitution? The American G.I.'s who wanted their services or the pimps who saw low supply and increased demand?
Do you know who the
Pimps were?
They were the Japanese Government!!
You're asking the wrong party for an apology. No rape occurred. It was all traditional prostitution - sex that was paid for. As for the enslavement and forced prostitution, look to the Japanese.
