Is it sexual harassment if?

a man looks at a woman who is not dress properly in an office setting, but this same man looks at the same woman on a beach who has a smippy two piece swimsuit.

But let's say the office is the beach

Either way, I'd say it is the same thing both ways. More emphasis is put on sexual harassment in the work setting,because the work place is supposed to be "professional." The workplace is also a more personal setting than a beach, which seems to be more public. Ultimately, more attention would be put on the man's look in the workplace.

If the office is the beach, you mean by lifeguards or something similar I presume, then yes. It is still more of a professional setting compared to just lying out on the beach in the public. Like the person above me said: if its on the beach she can leave if she wants, if its at a work setting, she really can't leave and is left in an uncomfortable situation.

In the office it could be.

On the beach look all you want.

Depends what you mean by "looking". Any excessive and bothersome looking may be sexual harassment, but it's more likely to become an issue at the office, because at the beach the woman can simply leave if she wants.

It's not just looking that makes it S H... it's your "way" of looking !! Or words you might say while looking, BUT then again it's how the other person "accepts" the way your looking or whatever it is you're doing.. Remember, not every person is the same. You might say something to someone working with you be it man or woman, and if it's S H, it depends on the other person ! if the person smiles at you while you are doing what ever it is you are doing or saying (and there is a witness) then it is never going to be S H( this is so hard to prove!) This whole thing is very touchy.
