Japan pressured tyrant Suharto to ban book

mardi 15 octobre 2013 à 14:00

Japan pressured Indonesian tyrant Suharto to ban an Indonesian book about the Indonesian "comfort women".

I read about 1/3 of the book, as part of practicing Indonesian. Many of these women were so ashamed of how they had been treated that after the war they didn't try to contact their families, which simply regard them as lost.

How absurd it is to be ashamed because someone else did wrong to you! But that's the twisted idea that patriarchal society teaches to women.
