11. Vaughana Macy Feary makes the following observation: ". . . trying to set out necessary and sufficient conditions for sexual harassment is a thoroughly futile enterprise. The futility of that enterprise, however, does nothing to support the myth that the concept of sexual harassment is hopelessly murky. We are clear enough in paradigm cases about what people mean when they claim they are being sexually harassed. [. . .] Of course, in addition to paradigmatic cases of sexual harassment identified by law, there are also borderline cases about which corporations, and in some cases the courts, will have to make decisions."
