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.
the entire premise of the discussion was for the purpose of mythical people thinking they needed firearms to serve imaginary time on antarctica. someone said they’d take their gun, I pointed out no guns in Antarctica, someone said they could bring it through newzedland, and that’s true, but still not to antarctica, the subject of the discussion.
funny enough, you probably still can’t bring firearms to new zealand it turns out - https://www.customs.govt.nz/personal/prohibited-and-restricted-items/firearms-and-weapons/#:~:text=You need a New Zealand,by the New Zealand Police.
What part of the premise are you having trouble with sparky?
To new Zealand is different than through New Zealand.
The specific claim was that guns would be stopped at new Zealand. They wouldn’t. They’d be stopped in Antarctica
