Compare and contrast gender harassment and sexual harassment.

What will be an ideal response?


Sexual harassment is broadly defined as unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other unwanted verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature. Gender harassment is a form of sexual harassment that is behavior directed at individuals who appear to violate their so-called gender roles. Gender harassment parallels the legal concept of hostile environment harassment. In employment and educational contexts, both are forms of discrimination. Though gender harassment has traditionally been neglected in psychology and law, it is likely to become a key issue in the near future.
