[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]On the surface, this definitely seems like harassment. For those of you saying this is in some way complementary, I would have you consider this under a different lens. If it was a man who said to a woman You are hot. You have a great body. You look sexy. Whatever. That would absolutely be harassment. [/quote]
I don’t think anyone serious is saying it’s  complimentary, [b]just that it’s not a term of derision[/b]. That doesn’t mean it isn’t still inappropriate.[/quote]

Calling a woman isn't necessarily derision, but in the right context it could be made to make someone uncomfortable. A power play.

That to me is what is going on here. The co-worker is using language that is inappropriate for the office, and implies something that is an unwelcome advance or is said as a power play to make the receiver feel uncomfortable.

There is no way this is not reportable.

But given that he's a white male, he's better off getting a new job. Nothing good comes out of this.[/quote]
