Hey gender studies boys and girls pop quiz time?

If a co-worker tells a dirty joke and someone gets offended is that sexual harassment?

 

[darkeyes1]

No.

 

[Ahmed]

LoL, I love South Park

It is sexual harassment to tell the joke even if no one if offended. It is sexual harassment to tell a dirty joke to an empty conference room at work where there is no one to hear. It is sexual harassment, although very difficult to prove, to THINK about a dirty joke while at work.

If you had a specific dirty joke in mind while you typed your question, you have sexually harassed me, as a member of this community, and I deeply resent that.

What Helena said.

 

[Helena]

Only if the joke is about the man or woman's private parts or sex life and goes on when the person has made it clear they are uncomfortable with this.

 

[dena]

Yes, it can be construed as sexual harassment.
