unit 3 - Goodman and Greenberger/Willams
“It was the conduct itself, and not the sex or motivation of the people involved, that determined whether sexual harassment amounted to ‘discrimination because of sex’ within the meaning of Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964.” I couldn’t agree more with the previous statement. Sexual harassment should not be limited to occur only between a man and a woman. We need to round up all sexual preferences when having this discussion, because lesbian could easily sexually harass another woman, and a gay man could easily sexual harass another man. We can’t let homosexuality not play a role in sexual harassment situations. Should gay people be exempt from sexual harassment because of sexual preference? No way! It’s the people involved, it’s the behavior. Another concept that seems unjust to me is to say that sexual harassment can only be created in the workplace. This blows me away. I feel that someone can be sexual harassed in most any place, most any situation. If we place a limit on sexual harassment and say that it can only occur within the workplace, then we aren’t doing a very good job of protecting kids in schools. Employers and Teachers are probably the two most common professions to have sexual harassment charges stapled to them. We cannot place limits such as ‘where’ sexual harassment can take place, and ‘who’ can sexually harass someone. It can happen anywhere and be done by anyone.
