Most of those convicted (from what I can tell, and while I seem to remember a stat, I won't quote it, because it's from memory) seem to be women, and this bugs the hell out of me because around 20% of Korean men (and I do remember that stat) see a prostitute at least once a week. If you lower the frequency to once a month, it is astonishing.<BR/><BR/>That, right there, is very nearly institutionalized gender inequality.<BR/><BR/> - <A HREF="http://www.driftingfocus.com/blogs/" REL="nofollow">Driftingfocus</A>Kelseyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02057778340760717886noreply@blogger.com
