What are the implications of this distinction? Do you think this distinction is helpful or harmful? Why?


To identify instances of sexual harassment, the courts may use a "reasonable woman" standard of what constitutes offensive behavior. This standard is based on the idea that women and men have different ideas of what behavior is appropriate.

This means sexual harassment can be defined as what MOST women would consider harassment, not what ANY woman considers harassment. From the perspective of the man, it means the woman can't decide something she accepted/encouraged at the time is harassment later.

this sounds an awful lot like a homework assignment, in which case I tell you to do your own work
