“but what really happens is a young women has sex with a military service member...her family finds out...she feels shame and claims it’s rape.”
No doubt this has happened , but a rarity judging by what I have read on Japanese and American news . It’s not only rapes , mind you , but sexual assaults , kidnapping , etc...Don’t understand why you are so quick to doubt the Japanese women .
It’s the Okinawa women I doubt. And it’s because it appears to happen there way way way more than anywhere else in the world (including the rest of Japan).
Okinawans actually don’t like Japanese. And the end of the war Japan gave USA most the island. So they really hate Americans too. An Okinawan girl having sex with an American is like a 1950s white woman having a black boyfriend. Her parents would make her say she was raped for the family honor. I guarantee you that is happening a lot in Okinawa.
