Ted traveled to 59 countries where I was exposed to different cultures & recognized some of them irreconcilable. However, I dare attempt to mitigate them.

This guy does his own reporting about "comfort women" (he's a denier): @TedYokohama

Heather Meadows @cosleia

He mentions that the US is no better, having forced women to have sex during Occupation. And I've noted all the rapes in Okinawa before.

Heather Meadows @cosleia

I'm telling you guys about him because now whenever he posts an article, he @-mentions me.

Heather Meadows @cosleia

By the way, I abhor the phrase "comfort women" to describe people who were tricked, coerced, forced, and sold into sex work.

Heather Meadows @cosleia

There is illegal sex trafficking everywhere. Yes, including the US. There's a huge sex trafficking network related to the Super Bowl

Heather Meadows @cosleia

I don't like the idea of anyone having to demean themselves for any reason, including "to make money to live on".

Heather Meadows @cosleia

This is not to say that I am against all sex work--my jury is still out, honestly. I just don't know enough about it.

Heather Meadows @cosleia

But I am definitely against any situation that victimizes people.

Heather Meadows @cosleia

@TedYokohama I was using “denier” to mean you are questioning the official story. Not many characters in tweets.

 

@TedYokohama

@cosleia  Not denying comfort women but trying to rectify what most of you believe to be true about comfort women as reported & distorted by biased media.  @t_ishin

@TedYokohama

@cosleia Comfort women existed as prostitutes. No evidence shows Japanese Army was involved in such a manner as biased media report. @t_ishin
