A man s behavior can be perfectly harmless to his own point of view, but may be viewed as offensive to women. The woman, either by the way se dresses, looks, or behaves, generally provokes most incidents of sexual harassment. Some say that women will dress differently for a sort of promotion. If you ignore it, it will go away. It may then be seen as an agreement or encouragement.
Harassers generally don t stop on their own.
Illegal conduct must be sexual. It is usually gender-based. Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile or offensive working or academic environment.
