WTF?
And after that story broke the National Science Foundation's response was to stop selling liquor at McMurdo Station. 🙄

Sometimes I wonder how the church got away with just shuffling abusers from place to place with no punishment and then the scientific community comes along to prove it is just a human social problem at the core and some organizations just make it easier than others.
It's what happens when people aren't easily replaceable. Some of them start to abuse their power.
Saying it's a human social problem is a bit of a misnomer tho, as throughout written history half of the humans (women) have not been in power, have not made the rules and have not been the enforcers of the rules.
This is a man problem, not a human problem.
I'll let the multiple women who've abused me know it's a man problem and they're good to go.
Didn't you just lay out why it is a social problem, though? Men are disproportionately abusing folks because they're disproportionately in power.
Clearly testosterone plays a major role in causing aggressive behavior, and men tend to have more testosterone, but that also isn't a clear-cut division between groups, and folks with lower testosterone can certainly still be aggressive monsters. Oversimplifying the problem isn't going to fix things.
Your username reminded me of the Star Trek TNG episode with the planet run by women. Men are smaller and more subservient. Basically the women in power have all the negative egotistical traits that men are stereotyped with in our society. Riker is sexually coerced (but he enjoys it of course).
In our society, men have these issues. But women are not immune.
Is it testosterone? Or is it greater upper body strength and less fragile necks?
I'll be damned if I'm going to a frozen hellhole sober.
Maybe, maybe not. Either way, alcohol is not the proximate cause.
This is the core problem. Booze just makes it worse.
You're right. My bad.

Fuck a hammer, I’ll take something in God’s caliber any fucking day. A battle of strength is just not worth it especially in this kind of situation (strong experienced and persistent threat, limited protection resources available).
Yeah nah, if nobody got me I know John Moses Browning got me
Yeah I'm sure taking a gun on an international military aircraft flight will go just swimmingly
Good luck smuggling a gun. Seems like a big international issue if someone brings a firearm to a situation where people don't seem to know how to deal with respect. Try not escalating or saying how macho and brave you are because you can bring any given tool in your imagination - work with what the people in the scenario have to work with or shut up and let grown ups talk.
Why was she afraid 'the man' was going to kill her?
Is there any evidence to go on besides her word?
This seems like an odd story. Why would he complain about her talking about his mom? It'd make more sense if he complained about her going to HR.
He could just be unhinged. I wonder what other people have to say about him or if there's any video evidence of these encounters.
Thanks for sharing this information instead of just downvoting, lol.
Found the ~~mobile user~~ rapist. Lmao its stella
I'm always surprised when people are surprised but then I remember this stuff is largely invisible to approximately half the population.
Here's the investigation referenced: Women working in Antarctica say they were left to fend for themselves against sexual harassers
It's pretty normal when you have a small pool of qualified individuals. Some men will take advantage of women and management will brush it under the rug because they need those men to do their jobs. There aren't any replacements without increasing payment.
So the women are basically unwitting whores being pimped as party favors to keep the men there? Sheesh I can think of so many better ways to fix that...
No. Not sure where you're getting that from. Might want ask if your emotions are clouding your judgement.
