      Lmfao, as if rape and sexual assault don’t happen literally everywhere on earth there are men.

      But hey, if you single out Japan, that means you can avoid acknowledging the misogyny in your own country/culture right? What a neat and not at all obvious trick that is…

        everywhere on earth there are men.

        Because it’s just a male thing, right?

        In the commotion, she said, it was a woman who grabbed her breasts harder than any of the others involved.

        Assholes are assholes, it’s not limited to one sex.

        Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented. Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem, and if you didn’t know, then now you do.

          This, I agree with.

          Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.

          For this, I’d like to see the documentation you cite.

          Yes, it’s like that in much of the world. Australian laws until recently silenced SA survivors for example as I linked down below. It’s good that you’re learning about it and engaging with it. Rape culture must be stopped world over.

            Yes and some places (like Japan) are even worse.

            They have women only passenger trains on the subway because they need to not because they want to. Those don’t exist in most western countries that I know of.

            You’re still doubling down on this? My friend, sometimes other people actually do know more than you. But keep trying if you’re enjoying yourself.

        I mean, I read this and went, “Goddammit, Osaka,” when I read where this takes place, and I live in Osaka.

          Ahhh, that sucks to hear. It seemed like such a nice place while there, but I guess that’s benefits of tourism. All of the cool parts, not around long enough for the bad :(

            I mean, the vast majority of people here are not committing sexual assault. There is certainly work to be done with the justice system regarding reporting and prosecuting crimes, but it’s not like Japan or Osaka or Tokyo just condone SA.

              Societies today are extremely large, which means it doesn’t matter if a majority does something or not, if a per mille does it’s a massive, society-defining problem.

        Australia doesn’t have a well known problem with groping women on public transit as far as I’m aware.
