Abstract

Previous research suggests that women are more likely than men to perceive a hostile environment of sexual harassment in job-related scenarios. Such findings raise questions about whether a "reasonable woman" standard might be preferable to a "reasonable person" standard for adjudication of some sexual harassment cases. There are sound arguments for both positions, and there is no basis at the present time for unequivocal and categorical support for one position over the other.

摘要

先前的研究表明，在与工作相关的场景中，女性比男性更有可能察觉到性骚扰的敌对环境。这些发现引发了一些问题，即在某些性骚扰案件的裁决中，“理性女性”标准是否可能比“理性人”标准更可取。两种立场都有合理的论据，目前没有依据明确且绝对地支持一种立场而反对另一种立场。
