A compliment, when given by a superior about a subordinate's physical appearance, could be considered harassment. Here's a handy guide from The Guardian [1].

> could we consider overly sexy looks a form of harassment too?

Probably not. If you're unable to work near an "overly sexy woman" and she is following your company's dress code, then I'd say that's probably your problem, not hers. For it to be harassment, her appearance would have to be somehow directed at you, or somehow encroaching on personal boundaries. If someone who is clothed and just trying to do her everyday job puts you "in a state similar to fear", that's pretty unfortunate for you.

I think Marczellm means "can my looking at, staring at, another person be considered harassment" and not "can someone who looks attractive be harrassment?"

[zachwooddoughty]

That's not how I interpreted it, but I could see how that could have been what he meant.

In that case, I do think staring can, in certain contexts, be considered harassment. I would hope that it could be solved by a conversation ala "please stop staring at me".

That's not what I meant.

My apologies.
