Similarly, if you see posts along these lines, do not engage. Report them, block them, and live a happier life than they do. We see too many slapfights that boil down to "Mom! He's bugging me!" and "I'm not touching you!" Going forward, slapfights will result in removed comments and temp bans to cool off.

We ask that the users report any comment or post that violate the rules, to use critical thinking when reading, posting or commenting. Users that post off-topic spam, advocate violence, have multiple comments or posts removed, weaponize reports or violate the code of conduct will be banned.

All posts and comments will be reviewed on a case-by-case basis. This means that some content that violates the rules may be allowed, while other content that does not violate the rules may be removed. The moderators retain the right to remove any content and ban users.

Summary

A South African scientist at the remote Sanae IV Antarctic base has been accused of sexual assault and violent threats, prompting urgent pleas for help.

The 10-person team is stranded for months due to extreme winter conditions. Officials were warned of the escalating situation as early as December but failed to act.

South Africa’s environment department has launched an investigation and is offering counseling.

The incident raises concerns over psychological screening for Antarctic missions, echoing past violent incidents in South Africa’s research programs.

There is no patriarchy omds 🤦🤦🤦 no1 is being underpayed just cause of their race or gender, there's no worldwide agenda against women.

No, I ain't a far-right conservative trump supporting fascist who hates women and all minorities, I base all my opinions and beliefs on my own experiences and the things I see.

I don't see everything through the polarising lens of either one two absolutely shit parties. In other countries, believe it or not, people have their own beliefs that aren't based on whether they're right or left wing.

🤣🤣🤣 Just cause I aint a political extremist on 1 side don't make me one on the other. Js cause I aint a far-left patriarchy smashing white ppl hating woke anti-capitalist communist don't make me a far-right Trump-supporting Hitler praising dictator-sucking Nazi fascist and vice-versa.

Some people seem to think you have to be one or the other, most people think both sides are lunatics. Plus Trump fans support him with their chest.

I don't let next man, especially any politicians decide my opinions for me. There's political parties outside of America believe it or not, their viewpoints aren't the only 2 that exist in the world.
