My apologies, misread your statement.

This attitude doesn’t make any sense.

If you don’t want groups of men in the womens’ toilets then why would you support a system that would force Trans men to use womens’ toilets on a mandatory basis?

Wait, are you raping people/turning a blind eye to rape?

My point is that the women being sexually assaulted in Antarctica haven’t been passively sitting there saying it “never crossed their mind” to protect themselves - one had to walk around for months wielding a hammer to use as a weapon against her assailant.

It’s the wider system down there and the rape culture society that is creating this system not some kind of passive internaluzed helplessness. Most women field scientists are tough as nails because they have to be.

Don’t put this on the victims. Women are doing their best to defend themselves.

Unfortunately there’s a culture of sexual assault at Antarctica, where the “boys will be boys” crowd overrule the kind of thing @the_riviera_kid@lemmy.world just suggested.
