This organization categorized sexual harassment into five basic levels: 1. Generalized sexual remarks and behavior that are directed at a person because of his or her gender, rather than designed to elicit sexual activity. Examples might include comments about women's supposedly lesser cognitive abilities and their mythical propensity to be vindictive, jealous, and seductive. 2. Situations that involve actual sexual references. What distinguishes this level from the first level is the introduction of the request for sexual encounters, which is often accompanied by some sort of touching. These situations do not need to be blatantly offensive, just not appropriate, and take place where the woman is the subordinate, and the man is the superior. 3. A solicitation for sex and the promise of some reward. Explicit threats may be absent, but the harasser uses his organizational or institutional authority to "make payment" for a sexual favor. 4. The notion of punishment is introduced for failure to comply with the request for sexual favors. This is generally thought of as the quintessential type of sexual harassment and is illustrated by a failing grade in class, a negative job performance review, or dismissal from work. 5. Extreme behaviors as indecent exposure, gross sexual imposition, and outright sexual assaults. Probably the least common type of sexual harassment, this behavior is usually highly disturbing to children.
