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.

    I’m not sure what that’s supposed to mean in this context.

    Are you saying that since these were co-workers and not family members that means the woman is lying?

      Of course you dont. Because you say dumb fucking nonsense like this:

      If men as a group policed their own there would be a change.

      You want me to police all my friends relationships?? What the fuck is wrong with you?
