> For more than three decades, we have understood sexual harassment to be a form of sex discrimination A minor derail: In fact checking this, I learned that because sexual harassment is federally treated as a violation of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act, which forbids discrimination on the basis of sex, it is a defense if you bisexually harass people. https://www.natlawreview.com/article/trouble-so-called-equal-opportunity-harasser-another-cautionary-case-out-minnesota https://www.natlawreview.com/article/trouble-so-called-equal... It's good that the legal system has found a way to shoehorn a fairly effective discouragement of a vile and destructive societal tendency out of a law which was not intended for the purpose. (I also learned that the CRA amendment prohibiting discrimination against sex was added at the last moment, as a poison pill, in the hope that doing so would make the bill untenable.) I think the country would probably benefit from dedicated sexual harassment laws, though. The current situation is pretty ethically incoherent.
