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.

    you are too worried about the objects in a room. removing guns is like chopping the leafs off a tree expecting to kill it. you need to stop looking at the gun tree and see the forest of human evil. objects in a room cannot hurt you, unless what? a human wills that object for.good or bad. if guns didnt exist youd be up in arms about bows and arrows

      Guns would only make the situation worse.

      Guns make EVERY situation worse. Statistics have shown that.

        how did you plan to remove guns from the world?

        you’re fighting a crusade that wont end with removal of one killing object. you’re not wrong walter. you and i will never see the end of firearms. that’s a harsh reality you cannot keep denying

    Yeah, as a woman, I’d be real hesitant about taking a job out there, or any place thats more wild-west in nature (very few people and very lax regulation of any laws) and I’d sure as hell take gun tactical training before going, and always have a firearm on me.

      But that narrative doesn’t support the anti gun ideology. they want everyone disarmed so the strong can once again shuffle the weak in any direction they choose. it makes them so mad that they have to think twice about sexual assault or else they get blown away. its like a condom, those convincing you that you don’t need one, means you really really need one.

      edit: so mad 😎

      triple digit mad lets fucking Goooooo! 🤣

      Your downvotes mean you like women undefended and unprotected. that’s kinda sorta a bunch fucked up. please find peace in your lives where you aren’t afraid of guns because you just want to rape unopposed.

      what’s the slow down? Let’s hit 4 digi mad!

      Only possible if you do an all female mission imo.

      All male mission -> they kill each other

      Mixed mission -> they kill the women and probably themselves after

      Edit: Lmao lots of insecure men around here.
