Rebuttal to #CarterEckert #AndrewGordon statement on #MarkRamseyer 's #Comfortwomen article.

1️⃣Since legally speaking Koreans were treated equally as Japanese, one may describe Korean Comfort women by citing the contracts with Japanese Comfort women'sign.
Some Japanese Comfort women served higher class soldiers compared to Korean Comfort women, but that is about their skills and their legal status was the same.

Also note that Japanese name sign doesn't necessarily mean Japanese signed it, since some Koreans had Japanese names.
2️⃣The statement pointed out one of sources in his paper was about not Comfortwomen 慰安婦 but 酌婦 Shakufu.
But in a diary of Comfort woman station employee below, he made no difference in using these names to describe its entity.
