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.

Well, again, women are not being raped right and left in the UK and Australia. So maybe that’s not the only solution.

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.

Ah yes, the idea that mass shootings are aided by guns is just unthinkable

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.

You’re a fool if your don’t think anyone in America wants all guns banned.
It’s like 1% of the population, so it’s not truly worth mentioning
guns are much more likely to be used to commit sexual violence than stop sexual violence. this entire premise is fucked up.

The impact of gun violence against women goes beyond fatal encounters. A 2016 study found that nearly 1 million women alive at that time had been shot by an intimate partner, and 4.5 million women had been threatened with a firearm.4 Firearms have long been used as a tool of power and control to instill fear and inflict abuse on women—with women of color, people in the LGBTQ community, and women with disabilities being disproportionately affected.5

I get that you think you’re some righteous crusader for women’s safety but the more guns solution hasn’t worked - there are more guns than people in the US; how many more guns do we need until you admit your hypothesis is wrong? What’s the number, 500 million?
20 per person? Keep in mind, the more guns there are in the population, the more domestic abusers will use them to intimidate and violate their victims. So when do we get to safety through guns?
Make it make sense.
I’m not surprised by this but it makes me wonder how many women in these instances had a gun on them. Are men more likely to have a gun than the woman? You seem more familiar with the topic than I. Is that stated in any of the articles?

so if it’s human nature to murder, we should make sure more people have access to easily available tools with which to murder people?
come on, you’re half way there…

ignorant fuckwits like you assume people are scared when they disagree with arms being spread amongst the populace.
Die mad? What’s got your panties in such a bunch lil dude?
We both live in a world with Australia too. Read some fucking history you bellend.
And points - big ones - for being so afraid of taking guns back that the solution to the mass murders occurring ALL THE FUCKING TIME NOW is - wait for it - MORE GUNS!
Goddamn that’s stupid.

I could be upset about your face instead, I mean, it scares children ffs.
I blame your parents tho, not you. You could wear a mask and save us all the horror but no one would expect you to be that enlightened.
Trust me, no one has any expectations for you at all.
But I get I hit a nerve, so now that you’re very irate, I’m going to block you. Have a terrible life.
Uhhh, please clarify. How to make nature kill and why you say you are ill?
They get mad when reality disagrees with them. Big mad. As in to say most of the time
they get mad because it’s bullshit. a stupid hypothesis backed by a bunch of fearmongering and frothed spittle.
riddle me this, gunman: how many guns until we’re ‘safe’?
we’ve got more guns than people. so what’s it gonna take? 4 per person? 10? Do we need six billion guns so every american can count 20 in their home arsenal? Does that get us to safe?
pretty fucking stupid premise.

good question! do you think more firearms would make the rapists less likely to have a gun, or more likely?
I’ll wait over here while you figure this out.
