Sexual Assault is a crime while Sexual Harassment is not. (That statement is false! My boss put perverted pictures of himself and videos on my work computer and I went to the police! That is a criminal offense even though he didn't touch touch me.)

Sexual harassment is making offensive sexual comments, making unwelcome sexual advances, touching someone sexually against their will, threatening to fire/demote someone for not performing sexual favors for a boss, offering to promote someone if they will perform sexual favors for a boss.

Gender discrimination is refusing to promote someone or hire someone or paying someone less money FOR THE EXACT SAME JOB because of that person's gender. IT is only gender discrimination if the person COULD do the job as well as the current employees, but is not given the opportunity. (Example: Until recently, women could not serve on submarines in the US Navy.)

It is NOT gender discrimination that there are no women in the NFL because women would NOT have the same size/strength as a male football player...except maybe for the kicker and punter since players are NOT allowed to tackle those players.

Who can be a victim of sexual harassment?

Anyone can be the victim of sexual harassment, and anyone can be the perpetrator. Harassment does not involve physical contact. Sex related physical contact would be sexual assault.

Women can harass men and other women in the same ways.


What is the proper term for sexual harassment?

In most jurisdictions "Sexual Harassment" IS the legal term for unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical harassment of a sexual nature. It differs from Sexual Assault in that it does not require physical contact. Note that the exact legal definition of sexual harassment varies by jurisdiction. Informally, the proper terms for people who engage in sexual harassment include: Jerk Creep Imbecile Cad Boor Heel Louse Cur Rotter Rat Worm ... and a whole lot of terms that are not used in polite company - but then again sexual harassers have already excluded themselves from the category of "polite company" by their actions.
