Sexual Harassment
Sexual harassment is an 'unwanted imposition of sexual requirements in the context of a relationship of unequal power'. Sexual harassment is the only legal term defined by women according to Kramarae. It was first used in a court case in the late 1970s (p. 463). In the past, some women received unwanted attention from men. When women confronted or asked the men to stop, they were often ignored. With the development of the term 'sexual harassment' women can speak out. Kramerae still believes there is a struggle when women created a term and there is a struggle to make it work in a man made language.
