A law professor writes that WW2 era rape of Korean women and girls by the Japanese Imperial Army was a consensual "contract," that they were willing prostitutes.
The International Review of Law and Economics should withdraw the paper immediately. Shameful.

Here's another law professor who justifies war crimes of more recent vintage:

Tell @Harvard_Law to take this down.
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.
Shameful.

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.

Ramseyer's paper shows how years ago "law and economics" ventured where it should not go.
"The reason to criminalize rape, [Judge Richard Posner] argued, was to channel sex into forms like marriage, in which women are compensated like other sex workers."

"The brothels and prostitutes solved these problems by coupling a high up-front payment with a maximum service term that the prostitute could reduce by working hard."
Korea was occupied by Japan. Korean women and girls had this "contract" with the Japanese Army.
Disgusting.
