      Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented. Victim blaming is common. This is a systemic problem, and if you didn’t know, then now you do.

        This, I agree with.

        Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented.

        For this, I’d like to see the documentation you cite.

            This is specifically for train groping, for one, and literally has a whole section on what they are doing about it. I specifically wanted to know what was being cited here:

              Is a perfect example of that insufficient? That is what I gave you… Well, I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.

                a perfect example

                I specifically was asking for documentation about “Lack of effort to stop sexual assault in Japan is well documented”. The article provided mentions the efforts they are making.

                I suppose you could do a basic web search. Meh.

                You make the claim, you provide the evidence.


                The actual reason I ask is that, if this specific sort of thing exists, it would be good to specifically target and fight it.

          Yes and some places (like Japan) are even worse.

          They have women only passenger trains on the subway because they need to not because they want to. Those don’t exist in most western countries that I know of.

          You’re still doubling down on this? My friend, sometimes other people actually do know more than you. But keep trying if you’re enjoying yourself.

      I mean, I read this and went, “Goddammit, Osaka,” when I read where this takes place, and I live in Osaka.

        Ahhh, that sucks to hear. It seemed like such a nice place while there, but I guess that’s benefits of tourism. All of the cool parts, not around long enough for the bad :(

          I mean, the vast majority of people here are not committing sexual assault. There is certainly work to be done with the justice system regarding reporting and prosecuting crimes, but it’s not like Japan or Osaka or Tokyo just condone SA.

            Societies today are extremely large, which means it doesn’t matter if a majority does something or not, if a per mille does it’s a massive, society-defining problem.

      Australia doesn’t have a well known problem with groping women on public transit as far as I’m aware.

          Just because I’m not aware of it also doesn’t make the original post from False any less unexpected, I acknowledge my own ignorance but the point still stands. If it becomes known enough world-wide that Australia does indeed have a rampant SA problem that it become associated with the country as part of it’s “culture”, then it won’t be any weirder to so a “Sigh, Australia…” when an article comes up talking about it.

            I think the point he was making is it’s never good to assume the whole country is like this when it’s individuals doing it, and I have to say I agree. That’s the kind of reasoning that led to people attacking Russian-American businesses and homes when the Ukraine invasion started

              Literally no one is doing that. There was no excuses or apologies made for sexual assault taking place in other places. There was no “minimizing” the fact that it happens elsewhere. You are perceiving a slight from nothing, or at best a short post of exasperation that it happened again.

              This is exactly why everyone thinks you hexbears Lenin apologists are obnoxious. You made a specious argument which seems intended to pull a third nation into a completely unrelated story for no reason and then aggressively argue about it when people call you out. Take the L and try to contribute something other than rage for a bit.

          There are several countries where I’ve heard of this being a problem, but I’ve never heard this about Australia. Care to share some resources about what you’re referring to?
