Summary:

"A paper by Harvard Law School Japanese legal studies professor J. Mark Ramseyer that claims sex slaves taken by the Imperial Japanese Army during World War II were actually recruited, contracted sex workers generated international controversy, academic criticism, and student petitions at Harvard this week."

PS: This is relevant on two levels: first for the argument about consent v. coercion, and second for giving offense.
