Certainly, menstrual freedom should extend to all areas of Earth, but especially extreme and pristine environments like the Artics. However, as important as this issue is, every stakeholder in the #scientificResearch pipeline should be as, if not more, concerned about #SexualHarassment. If #scientificResearch methodology concerns itself with strict avoidance of the smallest chance of #unconciousbias, then that same #methodology should concern itself with the freedoms of all practitioners in the environment in which #science operates, no? #SexualHarassment should not be tollerated anywhere, and the Artics are no exception. If you can't be responsible for your libido without being a #letcher, then you shouldn't go to the Artics. You should go to #therapy.
Yet another argument for more #female lead scientists and administrators. #Scientists, as the educated elite, should be setting an example for others!
