Recent edit to J. Mark Ramseyer[edit]

Hello.The item "Publications related to prostitutes in Japan" was changed to "Publications related to comfort women". Rasmeyer's article are about prostitutes from the Edo period to the end of the war (1945). comfort women is a euphemism for Japanese military prostitutes from 1937 to 1945, a term used mainly after the war. In this sense, your correction is wrong. https://en.wikipedia.org/w/index.php?title=J._Mark_Ramseyer&diff=1019344820&oldid=1019273590 Miwa Steve (talk) 17:01, 25 April 2021 (UTC)[reply]

Hello.
All the pieces listed below that heading is indeed "related to comfort women." And the controversy is about the professor's claims about comfort women, not about prostitution in Japan.
Feel free to continue discussion on that article's talk page.
Good morning (or good evening there), Anonymous.
First of all, you should not use an anonymous IP address. Your method is it used by trolls.
In prewar Japan, prostitution was legal if you had a permit. There were both legal prostitutes and private prostitutes all over the world.
Professor Ramseyer's research is on prostitutes in Japan ( Korean peninsula) regionally and from the 1700's to 1945 in terms of time.
The reason for the difference in your perceptions may be from translation problem.
In pre-war Japan, prostitutes were called GEIGI (芸妓) or SHIAKUFU (酌婦).
Comfort women(慰安婦) became common after 1991.
Professor Ramseyer mainly uses the terms geigi (芸妓) or shiakufu (酌婦).

Good afternoon (or good night there), Anonymous.
Your points are incorrect.
>All the pieces listed below that heading
you say the term "comfort women" is used for everything.
take Ramseyer, J. Mark (1991). "Indentured prostitution in imperial Japan: credible commitments in the commercial sex industry"
No the expression
>not about prostitution in Japan.
Have you even read this paper?
Word ”Korea”The term appears 95 times in the paper of "Contracting for sex in the Pacific War"
for example,
  1. By 1935 the number of Japanese licensed prostituts had fallen to 1,778 but the number of Koreans still had risen only to 1,330 (Kim and Kim 2018: 18, 21; Fujinaga, 2004).
  2. 2. Korean prostitution abroad.
Overseas, Koreans have been working as unlicensed prostituts since before 1937, when military cab stations were established.
  1. 2. Korea. – Korea had a problem distinct from any in Japan. It had a large corps of professional labor recruiters, and those recruiters had a history of deceptive tactics. In 1935, Korean police records counted 247 Japanese and 2,720 Korean recruiters.

I suspect that you are only know one-sided statements and criticisms. I would like to share with you the opinions of Korean and Japanese experts, who are experts on the comfort women issue for long time.

The following are references up to a month ago,as far as I know.

As academics, we are used to dealing with exaggerations. We are not used to finding that the story is pure fiction.
But that is the nature of the comfort-women-sex-slave story.

ハーバード大学のマーク・ラムザイヤー教授が書いた戦時中の慰安婦に関する学術論文「太平洋戦争における性サービスの契約」は学界における一つの学説として存在価値が十分にある。
求められるのは学術的討論であって、論文撤回要求や人身攻撃ではない。
