Women working in Antarctica say they were left to fend for themselves against sexual harassers - eviltoast

The National Science Foundation, the federal agency that oversees the U.S. Antarctic Program, published a report in 2022 in which 59% of women said they’d experienced harassment or assault while on the ice, and 72% of women said such behavior was a problem in Antarctica.

But the problem goes beyond the harassment, The Associated Press found. In reviewing court records and internal communications, and in interviews with more than a dozen current and former employees, the AP uncovered a pattern of women who said their claims of harassment or assault were minimized by their employers, often leading to them or others being put in further danger.

      ignorant fuckwits like you assume people are scared when they disagree with arms being spread amongst the populace.

      Die mad? What’s got your panties in such a bunch lil dude?

      We both live in a world with Australia too. Read some fucking history you bellend.

      And points - big ones - for being so afraid of taking guns back that the solution to the mass murders occurring ALL THE FUCKING TIME NOW is - wait for it - MORE GUNS!

      Goddamn that’s stupid.

          I could be upset about your face instead, I mean, it scares children ffs.

          I blame your parents tho, not you. You could wear a mask and save us all the horror but no one would expect you to be that enlightened.

          Trust me, no one has any expectations for you at all.

          But I get I hit a nerve, so now that you’re very irate, I’m going to block you. Have a terrible life.
