In 1980, less men than women considered these forms of harassment to actually constitute sexual harassment. For certain behaviors like suggestive looks and gestures or sexual teasing and remarks, even women were reluctant to label these actions harassment. Not having a clearly defined and agreed upon concept of sexual harassment is a potentially dangerous situation.
