Was it difficult for them to adapt to the "outside world"? If so, what sorts of difficulties did they experience?

Also, what was the catalyst to them finding out that the DPRK wasn't as great of a place as they were made to believe?

What do you mean by victims of history? Are you referring to the rivalry between SK and NK?

Female here, you're definitely not a jerk. Had the girl been elderly (in which case she would be an old woman), pregnant, nursing, or disabled, yes it would have been rude of you, but in this situation you didn't have to do anything.

Also, good on you for being self-aware, but I feel like if you wanted to know whether you were being a jerk in a sexist way, it would probably be best to ask your female friends or your sisters.

A really popular argument I see is that girls fake reports of sexual assault. This does happen and it is absolutely not okay, but I do believe that daily living for all women is impacted by the threat of sexual assault and that there aren't many women purposely faking reports of sexual assault. What is your response to claims like this?

Also, in light of the art performance being given by a Columbia student in response to her rapist's presence on campus, how do you think college campuses can improve dialogue on sexual assault?

My high school journalism teacher's father worked at the World Trade Center and on 9/11 he was on his way to work when he decided, on a whim, that he wanted a bagel.

It's so weird to hear these stories of how narrowly some people escaped the attacks. You're amazed, but it's just completely horrifying at the same time.
