These scientists are supposed to be some of the greatest people in their fields, working in the most desired jobs, in a unique beautiful place which costs normal people the price of a car to even visit briefly.
And what do they do with their special privileged time in this amazing place?
Sexually harass women.
Throw them in the goddamn frozen ocean.
The problem with people abusing other people is people abusing other people.
You feeling free to express this judgemental attitude about anyone else drinking or doing anything that isn't harming anyone else (you only have an assertion that it leads to harm, and not even the unavoidable form like with drunk driving), is an example of people abusing other people not unlike the rapist.
The alcohol problem they are trying to address is only one of fine tuning, a gentle steering adjustment that hardly affects access to alcohol at all.
Can't be further from the truth. My gf was in academia, it's full of predators, their hierarchical system almost pushes for it if you ask me. Young aspiring phd student attend international science conference full of 40+ incels that promise her the world type of deal. Their lifestyle also select for weird type of personalities, very often asocial/sociopath, a lot of "dreamers" leave the field quite early when they notice the trend
Disgusting people are everywhere, science is a field that allows a few people to control your future like almost no other fields, most specialities are very small worlds in which everything works on personal recommendation basis, word of mouth, &c.
In the end you have the perfect combination of power (of the hierarchy), admiration (of aspirational researchers), "sacrifice are needed" mentality, these places are borderline cult like sometimes
> These scientists
> The U.S. Antarctic Program deploys roughly 3,000 people to Antarctica every year, mostly during the austral summer from October through February. These participants include: scientists who conduct research; support staff who operate and maintain the U.S. research stations and vessels; members of the military and other federal agencies; artists and writers who use art to broaden public awareness of Antarctica; and members of the media who report on Antarctic science.
I would joke in jest about what we should do with them before we throw them in. But since getting banned from Reddit for joking about choking a rabid dog. I realize it may crass and un-funny to a lot of folks. But the word chum, comes to mind.
Regardless, it doesn't matter how "stir crazy" one is going from being stuck indoors, the appropriate response is never to rape women.
