D'LADY FORECAST~

Awareness requires a rupture with the world we take for granted;

Shoshana Zuboff Quotes

The answer is YES.

Generally, there are two distinct forms of sexual harassment.

Often these forms overlap or occur simultaneously.

Let’s see their brief introduction;

QUID PRO QUO

-It means, essentially “you do something for me and I’ll do something for you.”

-may means sex for grades in context of among students or other favors.

-Includes an offer of special treatment 

 such as awarding a better grade in return for sexual favors.

-For example; a teacher threatens a student with some penalty 

 if she does not consent to have sexual relationship with him.

-One of critically serious concern.

-Raises questions regarding rape, sexual abuse, 

 sex with a minor, and other equally serious issues.

HOSTILE EDUCATIONAL ENVIRONMENT

-Is the most prevalent and misunderstood form of sexual harassment.

-Any, sexually-oriented conduct or any sexual oriented atmosphere 

 that is intimidating or offensive to a reasonable woman, 

 can be constructed as creating a hostile educational environment.

-It concept is so confusing because men and women often 

 perceive the very same behavior in quite different ways.

-What a woman might consider blatantly offensive, 

 a man might consider innocuous.

-In order for sexually unwelcome and offensive behavior 

 to be considered to have created a hostile educational environment, 

 the behavior must be “sufficiently pervasive and severe”.
