Abstract

Abstract In this chapter, I shall address several issues in sexual harassment law that are controversial and that help to explain some of the controversy surrounding sexual harassment in general. The issues, to be addressed consecu-tively, are (1) whether sexual harassment should be considered sex discrimination under Title VII, (2) whether the so-called reasonable woman standard should be adopted (3) whether same-sex harassment is sex discrimination, and (4) whether other forms of harassment should be conceptualized in the same way as sexual harassment.
