Korean women and girls had this "contract" with the Japanese Army. Disgusting.

The Government of Japan awards a medal to an American professor who then says the WW2 war crime of mass rape of Korean women and girls didn't happen.

https://twitter.com/RWPUSA/status/1358786147045023749 午後11:33 · 2021年2月8日 This is one of the worst op-eds I've ever read. A Harvard professor explains away a war crime inflicted on women and girls of Korea by describing the "law and economics" of sex slavery in the WW2 brothels of the Japanese Imperial Army. https://japan-forward.com/recovering-the-truth-about-the-comfort-women/?fbclid=IwAR0nFWKkycaCPIwXk_eVTDRtldlZ9KLJuS0ZqyaHuMvMr5tHKO6i79X7rB0 Published 3 months ago on January 12, 2021By Mark Ramseyer Recovering the Truth about the Comfort Women As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction. But that is the nature of the comfort-women-sex-slave story. It’s been a bizarrely unending story. Elderly Korean women claim to have been forced at Japanese bayonet-point to work as sex slaves. The Japanese government replies that the Korean government waived claims like this by treaty in 1965. But it expresses s...

The International Review of Law and Economics should withdraw the paper immediately.
