With a psychosocial framework that draws insights from feminism, sociology, international studies, and political psychology, the authors pinpoint the motivations of the nativist right and reflect on the change of conditions that is necessary to end cultures of impunity for perpetrators of sexual abuse in Japan. Evaluating the value of the #MeToo model of activism, the authors offer insights that will encourage victims to come out of the shadows, pursue justice, and help transform Japan's sense of identity both at home and abroad. Ueno, a female Japanese educator and O'Mochain, a non-Japanese male academic, examine the nature of sexual abuse problems both in educational contexts and in society at large through the use of surveys, interviews, and engagement with an eclectic range of academic literature. They identify the groups within society who offer the least support for women who pursue justice against perpetrators of sexual abuse. They also ask if far-right ideological extremists are fixated with proving that so called "comfort women" are higaisha-buru or "fake victims." Japan would have much to gain on the international stage were it to fully acknowledge historical crimes of sexual violence, yet it continues to refuse to do so. O'Mochain and Ueno shed light on this puzzling refusal through recourse to the concepts of 'international status anxiety' and 'male hysteria.' An insightful read for scholars of Japanese society, especially those concerned about its treatment of women.  aAll rights reserveduhttp://oapen.org/content/about-rights  aEnglish 7aFeminism & feminist theory2bicssc 7aRegional studies2bicssc 7aSexual abuse & harassment2bicssc  aMeToo; Comfort Women; Nationalism; Sexual Harassment; Toxic Masculinity; Misogyny; higaisha-buru; status anxiety; male hysteria; nativism1 aUeno, Yuki4aut0 aDOAB Library.40uhttps://directory.doabooks.org/handle/20.500.12854/11228570zFree-to-read: DOAB: description of the publication  c93154d93154
