…Liz Monahon at McMurdo Station grabbed a hammer.
If those in charge weren’t going to protect her from the man she feared would kill her, she figured, she needed to protect herself. It wasn’t like she could escape. They were all stuck there together on the ice.
As always, the fish rots from the head; those in charge perpetuate the culture that leads a woman to fear enough to have to carry a fucking hammer around for self defense because nobody at the top will actually protect her.

Freaking unbelievable
Looking forwards to us learning nothing then the same story repeating in the early space age.
ISS probably doesn’t have this problem because of all the cameras.
Also the fact that the astronauts are heavily screened and trained.
I’m pretty sure I’ve heard of issues already in the past. It’s a much smaller area and like you said, there’s a lot of eyes on them at all times, so it doesn’t happen as much.
How do you have a wank in the ISS?
Is it just rumors that zero-g screws with your libido?
I don’t know about that, but Newton’s third law of motion makes sex in space fairly awkward. You bump uglies, and now those uglies want to be on opposite sides of the room.
I am absolutely sure the first sex in space record has been filled, even if it’s not yet public information.
We’ve also seen space-trained astronauts who’ve gone a bit loopy, about relationships, no less. Fortunately they were planetside at the time.
I didn’t say it hadn’t been done. I’d say it likely has. I’m also saying it will be more awkward than having sex in an airplane bathroom to get into the mile high club.
This, I do not question, but I highly expect horny astronauts to rise to the challenge.
Sadly, I also expect a first sexual assault in space will be forthcoming soon enough. We as a species continue to struggle with the whole opt-in consent notion.
If anyone didn’t know, Alaska has the highest rate of sexual violence in the US.
I wonder if this is an effect of isolation?
I’m curious what sort of environmental factors influence this sort of behavior.
environmental factors like it being really fucking cold 8 months out of the year?
Keep in mind that there’s only 700,000 people in Alaska. 14 cases are gonna show up on the national scale.
This is about Antarctica, the SOUTH pole, even souther than Alabama, hon. Not Alaska way up north.
More just making an observation about cold and isolated places. Also the whole long days/ nights thing. Helps put it into perspective for Americans.
Investigators being sent with prior warning seemingly defeats most of the point imo.
It doesn’t, there have been claims for decades anyone that goes to the frozen continent legit gets a warning about it.
Yeah, but having experience working in industries affected by this particular boys club plague (tech mostly) you’d be shocked how quickly the biggest degenerates you know can cover up shit and turn face when given warning. Only have to maintain the guise till the investigation is over. :(
The idea is that they do not need to be secret, they have what they need now they’re collecting perjurious statements to add to convictions.
Ah, that makes sense then. Thanks for explaining.
It’s a very small community, rumors that persist are generally credible and the fact that it was by policy inhabited by males only until like 1969 or something doesn’t help.
Hmm who would have imagined that if you put about 60 people in a remote, inhospitable location and give them alcohol that things like this would happen? 🤔
People get lonely, bored, depressed and horny. They drink to forget about their shitty situation and the worst comes out.
Plenty of people can get lonely bored depressed and drunk without assaulting other people. I don’t think that’s a valid excuse.
I also don’t think it’s an excuse, I do however think it’s the truth. Put a bunch of people in a club or bar, someone will get kicked out at some point in the night. Now, what if no one can leave that bar without dying of exposure within minutes?
99% of those people don’t live in Antarctica though. Cabin Fever is a real thing and it can drive you mad, also the lack of sunlight or darkness for months on end really fucks with you. I worked 12 hour shifts 7-7 for 3 years, 6 months of day shift, 6 months of night shift. My night shift started in June and went until mid February. During the fall when the day got shorter I started to feel shitty because I would have like an hour or two of daylight, usually when I was commuting home at 8 am and ready to go to sleep. When it turned to winter, I would only see daylight for maybe 15-30 minutes a day, right before Christmas ,when the days were the shortest I didn’t see daylight at all for maybe a day or two and it really started to make me feel like shit, and this was in Manhattan, not the Antarctic, where your only friends are Emperor Penguins and the other people you see 24/7 for 6 months, regardless if you love them or hate them. Even when I switched back to the day shift at the end of winter and the very early spring it still sucked because the days will still short. I would walk into work just as the sun was rising and leave long after it set. I also worked in a windowless room (a NOC, I work in IT), so even when the sun was up my only time to see it was on my break, and I wasn’t too keen on hanging out outside for an hour when it was 45F.
The only equivalent to Antarctica I can think of in the civilized world is remote Siberia during the winter, far Northern Canada, or the far north of Alaska. It’s straight up miserable for a lot of them down there. It’s essentially one step below being on the ISS (or in a Fallout style vault haha).
Only put people who thrive in those conditions in those places. Obviously this guy should not have gotten this job. I hope they have some psych evaluation for these people before they get sent.
Yep, some people just aren’t up to the mental and physical stress of living down there in a giant bubble. There’s a reason why our ancestors never lived there 😂
There’s a reason why our ancestors never lived there
I’m gonna go out on a limb and say it’s probably due to several reasons.

what did investigators do to deserve that duty. bureaucracy moves slowly and for no apparent reason.
Whoever drew those eyebrows also deserves jail time
