"Using Power In A Way To Hurt Somebody:" The Rise Of Male-On-Male Sexual Harassment - Male-on-male sexual harassment - Jezebel

"Sexual harassment is about using power in a way to hurt somebody," says Marcia McCormick, associate professor at Saint Louis University School of Law, who specializes in employment law and gender issues. In the Cheesecake Factory suit there were no allegations that supervisors were attracted to the other men-the sexual harassment was a form of intimidation, McCormick says.
