""Anyway, his name is known and the women’s names are not known. So women in modern Japan are bringing cases forward now, but their names are protected while men’s are not. That invites a lot of possibly false accusations.""

100% agree,

It's a one way justice we live in, men are screwed any way you look at it.

I get that men can go through a lot when they're accused, especially with the stigma and all that, but when it comes to the Japanese legal system, women really have it tougher.

The cultural stigma, the insanely high burden of proof, and weak legal protections make it hard for women even to report sexual assault, let alone get justice. They often face serious social backlash and a legal process that's just brutal (e.g. they have to act out rape to the court).

While it's tough for both men and women, the deck is really stacked against women in Japan's system.
