É uma coisa da vida real, escravas sexuais, quero dizer "" mulheres de conforto "" que são encontradas em qualquer grande acampamento militar / militar para manter os homens felizes / em linha. Nos tempos modernos, é menos ouvido, mas ainda é comum.
Japanese Mulheres do conforto :
[...] were women and girls who were forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army in occupied territories before and during World War II.
The name "comfort women" is a translation of the Japanese ianfu (慰安婦), a euphemism for "prostitute(s)". Estimates vary as to how many women were involved, with numbers ranging from as low as 20,000 (by Japanese historian Ikuhiko Hata) to as high as 360,000 to 410,000 (by a Chinese scholar); the exact numbers are still being researched and debated. Many of the women were from occupied countries, including Korea, China, and the Philippines, although women from Burma, Thailand, Vietnam, Malaysia, Taiwan (then a Japanese dependency), Indonesia (then the Dutch East Indies), East Timor (then Portuguese Timor), and other Japanese-occupied territories were used for military "comfort stations".
Governo sul-coreano que disponibilizou mulheres para militares aliados estacionados dos EUA:
A group of women in South Korea sued their own government in June, alleging that it trained them to serve as “patriots” or “civilian diplomats” in the 1960s and 1970s. Their real job: work as prostitutes near American military bases. The women were tested regularly to make sure they didn’t have sexually-transmitted diseases, and were locked up until they were healthy again if they did, they said.
It’s an uncomfortable part of the U.S. military’s long history with prostitution. The world’s oldest profession has long catered to U.S. troops, whether at home or abroad. But the issue is getting new scrutiny in South Korea, where the top U.S. commander, Gen. Curtis M. Scaparrotti, recently forbid all military personnel under his command from paying an employee in an “establishment” for his or her time.
Os nazistas também :
German military brothels were set up by the Third Reich during World War II throughout much of occupied Europe for the use of Wehrmacht and SS soldiers. These brothels were generally new creations but in the West they were sometimes set up using existing brothels as well as many other buildings. Until 1942, there were around 500 military brothels of this kind in Nazi occupied Europe. Often operating in confiscated hotels and guarded by the Wehrmacht, these facilities used to serve travelling soldiers and those withdrawn from the front.
E isso é apenas nos últimos 60 anos? Há uma longa história de violência sexualizada, que até mesmo a prostituição "consensual" é considerada. Isto é suportado pela idéia de que as mulheres são coisas para o prazer ou conforto dos homens e não para as pessoas, ainda muito predominantes na época em que o romance foi escrito, em 1958.
