Blogger's tactless words only serve to add insult to injury

YANG BINGYANG, a popular micro blogger under the name Ayawawa, aroused fierce criticism online by saying "comfort women", women and girls forced into sexual slavery by the Imperial Japanese Army during its occupation of China, lived in "better conditions" than the soldiers who died. China Youth Daily commented on Tuesday:

"Think about the comfort women of the imperial Japanese troops", Yang said. "They survived, which is better than the soldiers who died on the battlefield."

By saying this, she meant to support her claim that "women have a gender advantage over males". But she insulted those women and girls who were forced to be "comfort women" by doing so.
