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.

    Antarctica is well out of the jurisdiction of any state law, which means shiving them in their sleep (or surprising them with a boiling mixture of water, cooking oil and sugar) cannot be entirely ruled out.

    If they’re going to act like jungle animals, maybe treat them like jungle animals.

      IIRC the whole base is policed by the US Marshals, and treated as federal jurisdiction. But also, apparently there are loads of laws not being followed up on, so maybe you can just do what you want.

      Utterly inhumane conditions for these poor women.
