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.
if the comments are any indication it’ll be filled with victim blamers and predators. No one can hear you scream in space means a little something extra with sexual assaulters literally on the loose. do you even engineer for a brig in space? they’d likely fill the space for food, water, fuel…There is a reason for the U.S. navy not letting women in submarines and it ain’t because of a monthly period.
