      …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.

    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.

      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.

        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.

      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.

              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.

      Barely sociable produces S tier content while other spooky content creators have run dry of beating the horse and pivoted to ARGs.

        Easily in my top 5. I personally don’t mind some of the ARG content, but I always know when I see one of his videos drop it’s gonna be a banger

    what did investigators do to deserve that duty. bureaucracy moves slowly and for no apparent reason.
