well, actually it is sexual harassment, at least as far as the law (and most corporate policy) is concerned. I just went through sexual harassment training (had to as a supervisor). So I'm now good at it 
The issue is that with a boss/employee dynamic, a "consenting" relationship is not truly possible (although it is arguable). Same thing with an adult/minor incident, although in that case it is much more clear cut: a minor is not capable of making an informed decision to provide true "consent."

As a supervisor, I had similar "training", over the web from an outfit called "workplace answers"... probably the same as yours? Anyway, I found most of it to be the kind of thought control that would make Stalin proud. Everyone was supposed to knuckle under to the sensitivities of the most hyper-sensitive employee -- no matter how prudish, while at the same time agreeing to rat-out co-workers who might be listening to Rush Limbaugh on their lunch break. The only way anyone could fully comply with the policies outlined in that manifesto would be to become an android.
