Dick pics fall into the category of "unwanted sexual advances", which is a form of harassment.

  I guess some people could see it that way given the donglegate scandal, but it can't be harassment if it's not repeated. And if something is to be repeated, then lots of things can be used besides dick pics.

    > it can't be harassment if it's not repeated Pretty sure there are a LOT of women who would strongly disagree.

      No, it's just annoying or a simple threat if it's one time only. From http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass http://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/harass (emphasis mine): > Simple Definition of harass: to annoy or bother (someone) in a constant or repeated way; to make repeated attacks against (an enemy).

        "sexual harassment" is a term with its own specific definition, which is not precisely a naïve combination of the simplest common definitions of "sexual" and "harassment".

      Not only women... I totally feel harassed when someone sends me a dick pick

    > but it can't be harassment if it's not repeated. Incorrect. Sexual harassment doesn't require repeated conduct, though repeated conduct is more likely to be harassment (both because it is more likely to create a hostile environment simply because of the pervasiveness, and because it is more likely that the actor will be in a position where they should reasonably have known that it was unwelcome.)
