I'm glad I just so happened to check this thread again because I'm genuinely interested in your opinion.

Hint: a joke can be sexual harassment.

Yes. That requires contact with the alleged victim.
quote:

Yes, what he did fits the legal requirements of it.

Who would he be harrasing? The requirement is for the applicants to be attractive. At this point the man hasn't even met the woman yet. I ask again, how can he harrass someone that he hasn't met yet? Is it wrong? Of course it is and he deserves to be fired for it. But, I don't see how someone can sexually harass a person they haven't even met yet. It's more than likely that he would sexually harass them once they were accepted into whatever they were applying for, but not before.

And the requirement of writing papers on pornography? Yikes.

Yeah there's a reason that I never brought that one up. That's pretty self explanatory.

you missed the boat on this one bud

I don’t think so at all. Looks more like people are lumping the two things that the OP listed into one thing and then calling it all sexual harassment.

No sir. The joke just has to make the listener “uncomfortable” and feel sexually intimidated really. No physical contact is required

Why require attractive? For what end? How did he judge the candidate? What was his definition of attractive? What comments did he make to or about the applicants and/or workers? Why was attractiveness a criteria for this position? To satisfy what?
The answers to those means it’s sexual harassment

Not really. Sexual harassment is based on how a person perceived or felt something. For example. A co-worker told me about his weekend with a girl from a bar. A female coworker overheard. Never said anything to him. She reported him to HR. He damn near lost his job. He was told he put the company at risk for a sexual harassment lawsuit. He had to do all kinds of sensitivity and sexual harassment workshops.

Sexual harassment isn’t a criminal matter; it’s civil. And as such it is broad as hell.

And obviously, they would have to stay attractive to keep their jobs. That would require dressing a certain way, always having their hair styled, makeup on point, etc, etc.

I mean, seriously, if you can't grasp that requiring that women present themselves in a certain way to maximize their sexual attractiveness to a man in order to get and keep their jobs isn't sexual harassment, there really is no helping you whatsoever.
