Many women who work at McMurdo Station, the main United States research base in Antarctica, say the isolated environment and macho culture have allowed sexual harassment and assault to flourish.
This reads as a story from 15 years ago. Scientists, among all us, should be able to design a safe working environment, with proper oversight. For fucks sake. Even the HR in Antarctica is broken.
Just like we shouldn’t need police and laws against murder.
Unfortunately, that’s not the world we live in. We do need these things. Expecting people to do the right thing out of the goodness of their hearts is naive.

“HR” isn’t broken, it’s people that are broken. We shouldn’t need specific departments to keep people from sexually assaulting each other.

True, thank you for this
