Why Don’t “Reasonable Women” Complain About Sexual Harassment?

Part I of this Article addresses the manner in which the courts have applied the standards for employer liability for sexual harassment and critiques the conclusions of those courts about the reasonableness of the employee's responses to sexually harassing conduct. In Part II, the Article addresses the ways in which women typically respond to sexual harassment—other than by immediately filing a formal complaint—and explains the reasonableness of such actions. Part II of the Article also explains why it would be appropriate and helpful for courts to apply a gender-conscious standard of reasonableness in judging women's responses to sexual harassment.
