Penny is becoming increasingly uncomfortable in one of her college classes because a classmate sits across the room and stares at her the whole time
He not only looks her in the eye, but he lets his eyes roam up
and down her, making her feel violated and powerless. Should Penny
consider this peer sexual harassment?
A. Yes, but only if the guy makes a more obvious attempt to overpower
Penny, such as stalking her after class or touching her without her
consent.
B. Yes; any behavior of a sexual nature between peers that creates an
offensive working or learning climate may be deemed peer sexual
harassment.
C. No, because the guy isn't doing anything physically or verbally to
Penny; peer sexual harassment can't be based on nonverbal behavior
alone.
D. No, because Penny has obviously returned eye contact to her
classmate; if a behavior is reciprocated, it can't be labeled sexual
harassment.
