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.

      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.
