Posted in: North Korea says Travis King wants refuge from mistreatment, racism in U.S. Army See in context
North Korea actually treats American defectors really well. He'll probably get a job as an actor, a pretty foreign wife, and all the perks of living in Pyeongyang. And I say good for him! The US military is racist and so is American society as a whole. More Americans should defect.

Jonathan Prin, Daniel Naumoff.
Both of you need to stop and take a minute to think from the perspective of the victim. It's not that easy to fight back when you are a young woman and your attacker is a big man and your teacher to boot.
If she fought back, he could have hit her, spread rumors about her, meddled wih her grades, or found some other way to hurt her. And like she said “When he kissed and touched me, I was in total shock and couldn't even move my body.”
You should both know by now that Japanese culture conditions girls to be submissive and not make a fuss. Even in the west where feminism is making progress, it is scary for women to fight back. Why do you think only 4% of Japanese sexual assault victims go so far as to file a police report? Everyone from the attacker, to the police, to their friends and family, to people on the Internet like you, they all blame the victim.
So just stop and think for a minute.
