Being offered something unreasonable, given free reign to decline that offer, does not cause harm.
Yes, it does. That's why job offers that state "do not apply if you're a woman" are illegal. You just don't care about this particular harm.

This is not an example of "being offered something unreasonable, being given free reign to decline the offer".

This is both incorrect and insulting.
