This has been an on-going discussion with my wife.

A few points:

1. Sexual Harassment is not just men of women - We had a woman -> man case at GE.
2. Sometimes the "power role" is not obvious. A woman can sleep with a married guy and now have "leverage" over him. (I'll tell your wife).
3. Many companies are ultra-anti-sexual harassment. Accusation is believed 100% with no evidence. You cannot get legal counsel.
4. You cannot confront the accused. Many times, the accuser is kept anonymous, supposedly to prevent retaliation.
5. He said/she said - without direct evidence (e-mails, photos, video), there most of the time is he said/she said.
6. The standard is not objective, but simply, "X feels offended".
