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.
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?

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.
