"Wartime Sexual Violence Against Women: A Feminist Response", Margeret D. Stetz

• In the history of wartime rape, systematic sexual violence by military forces has often been disguised as "prostitution"
• what differences has the feminist movements work to expose these abuses made? shared Asian and Western perspectives have allowed for its discussion, victims themselves are able to take the stage to share their stories, feminist pressure has resulted in legally charging rape as a war crime with hope for prosecution and punishment
  
• the work of these feminists include both male and female thinkers
  
• although there has always been violence against women during war, feminists distinguish that there is nothing normal or justifiable about it, that the uncontrollable/unavoidable male drive as unrestrained by culture is a myth
• "rape is not an aggressive manifestation of sexuality, but rather a sexual manifestation of aggression"
