Question

Rosalind has been approached a number of times for dates by her male coworkers. On one occasion she accepted, and the date became rather intimate. The next day, she rebuffed any further advances by her date from the previous night. On subsequent days, however, she was sometimes receptive to his advances and, at other times, she indicated either ambivalence or disinterest. If Rosalind attempts to make a claim of sexual harassment on the basis of this pattern, the chief flaw in her claim will be that she was sending mixed signals to her suitor and that it was impossible for him to determine whether his advances were unwelcome. True or False

Explanation / Answer

It becomes a sexual harassment when the other party refuses to participate in sex. But in this case there is no refusal but just ambivalance. This is not a case of sexual harassment.
