Korean distortions of history
Please assert three aspects of the facts if you want to argue someone about the comfort women issue.
1. There is NO "historical fact" that Japanese government forced women in occupied territories to be prostitutes for Japanese Army.
2. Comfort women were recruited in a nenki boko job system*.
3. Japan as a government has NEVER stepped in any type of human trafficking.
*A nenki boko job system;
The term nenki boko can mean “indentured labor” and this habit was practiced often before World War II in Japan. Nenki boko meant that people worked for their employers on a contract basis.
They, the workers would work for a fixed number of years, then be free to work on their own.
Like "Indentured Servitude" in the 18th century in the British colonies. The employer made a contract with the worker or, his or her parents instead of the sea captain; he did so because he needed labor and the worker or, his or her parents did so they needed conveniences and/or money.
In the case of comfort women, the parents of their daughters entered into an agreement with prostitution brokers (they were called zegen in Japanese at the time) who advanced a chunk of money to the parents, and their daughters had to work as prostitutes until they earned the advanced money paid to their parents. Afterwards, they were set free.
Stress these point:
1. Don't target only the comfort women for the Japanese military people based on the fabricated stories on them!
2. In Japanese history, we have never had slaves unlike the US, which treated Africans brutally as if they had been merchandise being deprived of human dignity through human trafficking.
3. Zegen (prostitution brokers ) didn’t abduct Korean women, and never sold them as merchandise to brothels.
4. The applicants for comfort women must have applied on their own will by statute.
5. Japan STRICTLY PROHIBITED any kind of human trafficking and mistreatment of people. If there were zegen who mistreated comfort women, whether they were Koreans or Japanese, was punished as a criminal by the Japanese authorities. When some Korean or Japanese military men mistreated comfort women, they were also punished by the Military authorities.
You may add the following phrase if you please:
6. “In a world of conflict, a world of victims and executioners, it is the job of thinking people not to be on the side of the executioners.” — Albert Camus

(A $30 million US Government Study specifically searched for evidence on Comfort Women allegations. After nearly seven years with many dozens of staff pouring through US archives -- and 30 million dollars down the drain -- we found a grand total of nothing. Nobody should be writing about Comfort Women issues without reading this report cover to cover. If you do not have time for the whole report, do a search inside the report for Comfort Women, and carefully read those parts:)
