And that paragraph is under the title "Sexual Harassment". It is clear to me that when they say "harassment", they mean "sexual harassment". Otherwise, the sentence would not be under that title. You're free to disagree, but your disagreement has no bearing on the laws we operate under. (Assuming you are in the US.)

How is that not sexual harassment? (Full stop).

Less sexual harassment by at least... half!

Is it just me or does anybody else think that the reason could potentially be a sexual harassment?

You've clearly never been a victim of sexual harassment if you think people can just handwave these sorts of things away.

It's straight up sexual harassment, which goes beyond sabotaging code. He shouldn't have made it through the day.

I imagine this would fall under some kind of anti-harassment law/policy

It's pretty clear that the issue at hand is harassment, not merely being hit on.

Depends on how loosely you define "sexual harassment".

It’s motivated by sexual harassment, not politics
