Language and Historical Justice: On the Rhetorical Fallacy of 'Comfort Women' in Japanese Colonial Era Narratives and the Imperative to Rename

Why shouldn't we continue calling them 'Comfort Women'? When discussing Japanese colonial history, 'Comfort Women' is the conventional term, yet this appellation originating from the Japanese military is essentially a cruel 'euphemism.' By perpetuating the aggressor's terminology, we inadvertently diminish victims' suffering. We should advocate for renaming them 'Military Sexual Slaves' to restore historical truth.
