Professor John Mark Ramsey at Harvard University, who wrote that Japanese comfort women were prostitutes. YouTube video capture-Professor John Mark Ramsey of Harvard University in the United States published an article in an international academic paper saying that the comfort women of the Japanese military were prostitutes in the past.
The article in question is a paper to be published in the International Review of Law and Economics in March. The title of the article is’Contracting for sex in the Pacific War’.
As in the title, it is argued that the comfort women were prostitutes. It was spontaneous sex work without coercion. If there was a problem, he said it was the Korean recruiter.
It is a claim that overturns historical facts already established internationally, abundant testimonies and documents, and the recognition of the Japanese government.
He wrote a similar article in the March 2019 Harvard Law School textbook.
As if the title was’COMFORT WOMEN AND THE PROFESSORS’, it was a urge to fellow professors.
The existence of comfort women is a hypothesis that the evidence is poor, and there is much more evidence that they are prostitutes, so don’t believe the story of comfort women.
‘The Japanese military has done some terrible things. However, the passage that the abstract content of committing a terrible thing does not mean that a specific terrible thing has been committed’ makes the eyes suspicious.
The section’Prostitutes followed the Japanese army in the 1930s and 1940s’ is reminiscent of the contents of 249 pages of textbooks in the history of teaching in Korea (unlike local comfort women, Korean comfort women often followed each time Japanese troops moved due to a change in front). do.
In his 2019 article, he wrote that he was helped by a Korean named’Jung Il-young’.

The official title of his 66-year-old school this year is’Mitsubishi’ professor. It means that he is a researcher sponsored by a Japanese company.
Although he is white, he spent his teens in Japan, and then, after studying in Japan as a researcher in his 30s, a scholar who has studied Japanese law and business his entire life is now making this argument for another reason.
This 2010 article was also reported by the Sankei Shimbun, the far right media.
After the new governments were established in Japan and the United States, it also took a moment when the importance of the trilateral alliance emerged.
There is also no possibility that the biden government’s diplomatic cooperation with North Korea will be a bad thing.
