...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.
