Answer to Question 1

Sexual harassment falls into three categories: verbal, nonverbal, and physical. The following examples may represent sexual harassment if the behavior is clearly unwelcome and not reciprocated.

Verbal

Sexual innuendo (So you're majoring in packaging? I love your packaging.)

Suggestive comments (Those jeans really fit you well.)

Sexual remarks about a person's clothing, body, or sexual activities (I noticed you lost weight. I'm glad you didn't lose your gorgeous chest, too.)

Sexist insults or jokes or remarks that are stereotypical or derogatory to members of the opposite sex (Women should be kept barefoot, pregnant, and at the edge of town.)

Implied or verbal threats concerning one's grades or job (It's simple. If you want to pass this course, you have to be nice to me, and sex is the nicest thing I can think of.)

Sexual propositions, invitations, or other pressures for sex (My office hours are too limited. Why don't you drop by my house tonight? We'll have more privacy and time to get to know each other.)

Use of employment position to request dates or sexual favors
