Even after two Nobel Prize winning economists compared his Comfort Women paper to Holocaust denial, Mark Ramseyer persists with his defamatory claim that victims of wartime sex slavery were just prostitutes. Japanese scholars soundly repudiated this revisionism. Awful.

We demanded retraction of Ramseyer's Comfort Women paper because it didn't meet standards of peer review. IRLE Journal editor Johnathan Klick (@pennlaw) answered with a sneer saying our objections were "incoherent." With this blogger he then attacked us.

I'm not sure what is going on at @pennlaw but between IRLE editor Jonathan Klick insisting on publishing Ramseyer's defamatory Comfort Women article and attacking those of us who object, and Amy Wax, they might want to lay low in Asia for a while.
In most fields if it is discovered that a paper did not meet standards of peer review and should not have been published, the journal withdraws it or makes an equivalent statement. Apparently that is not true for right wing "law and economics" papers denying war crimes. Amazing.
Within minutes of my posting this morning about Mark Ramseyer’s revisionist history of WW2 sex slavery, condemned by historians in the U.S., Korea and Japan, I get trolled here by dozens of extreme rightists with racist statements about Koreans. Awful.
