She wasn't sexually harassed. Not even close.
You consider phone flirtation "cornered"?????
I'll say the same to you. Stop trying to make this a federal case. If GQ hottie man of the year hit on her, this thread wouldn't exist. He is ugly and you two have your panties in a wad. Get over it.
I consider anybody, male or female, hitting on me in my work environment, in the course of my job, via phone, email or in person, cornered. Because it is a work situation, not a public one where I free to take "whatever" action I feel is warranted. I do feel cornered, and even threatened at times, because my JOB may depend upon my POLITE handling of the situation, because the guy is so persistent and adamant in his pursuit and the fact he not only knows where I work, but my work number, my email, my cell etc. Not like a stranger in a bar who has no clue who I am. It's difficult to handle at times when you are on the spot in your work environment.
Also, I have had GQ hottie of the year hit on me at work, and I did consider it inappropriate and it made me very uncomfortable. It also ticked me off. I am trying to do MY job, not flirt, make friends, score action or whatever. I am a professional, and expected to be treated with the same amount of respect and dignity I give others in the course of my work interactions.
The saddest thing to me is that men like you exist. The things he said to her do not qualify as "flirting". They definitely went past the line of "hey baby you are a cutie".
