Harassment is a category that has been gaining ground in contemporary normative debate, appearing in political-governmental agendas, in the repertoire of social activism and in academic-scientific production. Both the movement and the feminist-inspired argumentation have constituted one of the great drivers of its public projection, helping to frame harassment in a cosmovision and in an economy of meaning with special regulatory implications in the labor and criminal spheres. In this book, the author views harassment as a device for observing the limits, potentialities and epistemological contradictions that cross the field, seeking to expose the consensus and cultural conflicts that the legal function (labor and criminal), the presumption about the subject (male or female) and the status of sexuality pose to feminist theories and social studies of law. It also seeks to demonstrate to what extent and in what terms the increasing legal density of harassment, driven or supported by different critical and feminist sources, instead of witnessing a progressive, cumulative and expansive logic of anti-patriarchal aspiration, puts the vices in evidence above all. and the political-epistemological paradoxes that permeate the way in which the field of sexuality is thought, prescribed and protected, forcing a critical return to the subject, structure and law as unfinished objects and constituents of social life.

This chapter develops an argument regarding previously neglected factors that enrich our understanding of why female victims of sexual assault find it difficult to come out of the shadows and to pursue justice. It focuses on the role of powerful conservative revisionists who, under impulses that range from anxious to hysterical, promote an association of ideas between former "comfort women" and those women who seek justice in the aftermath of sexual violence. A historical perspective of Japan indicates transmission of anxiety, rather than a more intense level of hysteria, but there may be influential groups within society that adopt the position of the hysteric. The case of Itō Shiori is detailed to exemplify a toxic association of ideas propounded by ideological extremists, to illustrate the difficulties involved for women who speak out against male sexual violence, and to highlight the potential for women to meet these challenges, in spite of the danger of retaliation. A survey of 100 female university students asked how likely these young women were to report sexual harassment according to the profession of the perpetrators. The survey indicates that a fear of retaliation from extremist groups may inhibit reporting of sexual abuse.
