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.

    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!

      Oh yes, how they shuffle the weak in the UK and Australia. Just weak people being shuffled around by the strong all over the place.

          I’m really trying to use the UK and Australia as places where people have as much freedom as they do in the US but no guns. Or do you think they’re totalitarian police states or something?

              Maybe instead of arming women to stop men from raping them, we start teaching our men that masculinity does not equal sex and sex does not equal power?

                We do teach that. Men (and women) who rape know raping is wrong and still do it anyway.

                  You didn’t read what I wrote. You need to do more than teach that rape is wrong. You need to divorce sex from both masculinity and power.

                    That will do nothing. People who get off on it aren’t going to suddenly not get off on it because you repeat a bunch of words to them. There’s never been a moment in history where rape hasn’t been desired for by a percentage of the population, and unless you’ve implemented some sort of Equalibrium-type society where everyone is force-fed regular injections that keep them compliant, it’s not happening.

                    Don’t get me wrong, teaching works for most people, but not all. It’s not going to be eliminated by talking theory at them that forcing someone to submit to them sexual no longer means power.

              Rape doesn’t occur by strangers. Statistically speaking, it’s a family member raping a family member. Or it’s a close acquaintance. Staying strapped at all times to prevent SA isn’t reasonable.

            And making his way into the ring, weighing a steady 350 pounds after training on Stardew Valley, vegan Oreos and Mountain Dew, it’s The Agenda Pusher!

            Here to derail any meaningful conversation on any topic and make it all about his pet political issue, he’ll topple you with his signature move, The Forum Slide, where in one post he’ll turn any discussion into a shit-flinging flame war where everyone will forget what they were originally talking about in the first place!

                  All those school knifings where 15 children leave in body bags – they’re just swept under the rug by the mAiNsTrEaM mEDiA

                  And don’t you cite the like one or two of those that have ever happened back in 1931. We both know that psychopaths love the idea of killing a dozen people in a few seconds and the only way to do that is with guns or explosives.

              2A propaganda. “Anti Gun Ideology”? That’s not something being discussed anywhere in the US. There is no anti-gun ideology. Some people just want it to be harder for criminals and mental health patients to acquire full auto rifles. Generally the 2nd amendment chest beaters only come out after mass shootings, of which there were like 3 this past weekend. So while you didn’t mention dead kids, that is the general outcome of Republican obstructionism on all issues related to 2A.

      She specifically said “training”, which on its own immediately goes against whatever insane ideology you’re selling.
