How good are you with history? Yeah? That good? Then you've heard about this case? Maybe? Well, not me. TBH, I felt shocked that something of this magnitude happened, and I was oblivious! But now. Now, I know...and I must tell you, because the more stories and cases that we know revolving around misogyny, and misogynistic belief systems, the better equipped we are to FIGHT IT! 

 

There are quite literally 3 wars..no wait...4 wars in this episode. This incident and the incedents surrounding it are sometimes referred to the forgotten Hollocaust. Women were tricked, and sometimes even abducted and brought to these hellish concentration-camp settings where the very worst things that can happen to a woman...happens. I am Nicole Davenport, and this is "Great in the Sack: when misogyny leads to mayhem".. Stay informed as we discuss different cases involving the hatred of "not all men" against women...so we can try to better understand our situation as women, and supporters of women in the present day. See you in the sack!                                                                                                                  Sources: Chaing, Iris (1997), "The Rape of Nanking: The Forgotten Holocaust of World War II", Basic Books, retrieved 2025-01-13.                                                Asian Women's Fund, The lives of the comfort women,  https://search.app/5WdJfkV5dNturR2X7 The Brutal History of Japan’s ‘Comfort Women’ | HISTORY https://search.app/FNN9u8q554d7Eobq7
