A Canadian female astronaut was sexually assaulted by a cosmonaut on a training mission. She reached out to the Canadian Space Agency and was told, "That kind of behavior is normal for Russians, and it would be too taboo to complain publicly."

I think calling it "unwanted advances" makes it sound too polite. Of course, that happens everywhere, probably across genders too. But this isn't about unwanted advances, this seems more like a frat house mentality.
