sexual harassment

Read a random definition: Code of Hammurabi

A quick definition of sexual harassment:

Sexual harassment is when someone does or says things of a sexual nature that make another person uncomfortable or scared. This can include unwanted touching, comments about someone's body, or requests for sexual favors. It is against the law and can happen at work, school, or anywhere else. The person who is being harassed can be a man or a woman, and the person doing the harassing can be anyone, like a boss, coworker, or even a customer. It is important to tell someone if you are being sexually harassed so that it can stop.

A more thorough explanation:

Sexual harassment is a type of discrimination based on sex that is illegal under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964. According to the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC), sexual harassment occurs when:

  • Someone makes unwelcome sexual advances or requests for sexual favors
  • Someone engages in other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature
  • Submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment
  • Submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individual
  • Such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance by creating an intimidating, hostile, or sexually offensive work environment

It's important to note that both the victim and the harasser can be of any gender, and the victim does not have to be of the opposite sex. The harasser can be a supervisor, co-worker, or someone outside of the organization, such as a client or customer.

Here are some examples of behavior that could be considered sexual harassment:

  • A supervisor repeatedly asks an employee out on a date, even after the employee has said no
  • A co-worker makes sexual comments or jokes to another co-worker, even after being asked to stop
  • An employee is promised a promotion in exchange for sexual favors
  • A customer makes sexual comments or gestures to an employee
  • An employee is subjected to unwanted touching or physical contact

These examples illustrate how sexual harassment can take many different forms, and can involve different types of people in different types of relationships. It's important to remember that sexual harassment is never okay, and that victims have the right to report it and seek help.

Quentin Tarantino is interested in watching somebody’s ear getting cut off; David Lynch is interested in the ear.
18:03
Quentin Tarantino can't resist putting a gay scene with a black guy participating in the gay act in his movies.
18:05
David Lynch is just gay.
18:18
Lynch is more in touch with his unconscious/dream state than the average person
18:42
Probably. I just dont know. All I know is he did a good job with Dune.
18:45
You should watch Blue Velvet
18:46
How’s your LSAT studying been going?
18:49
It is good. I have about two more weeks and I broke the 90 level on LSAT Demon which is good last night. My goal is 95 so I can probably get it before I test. It is scaled our of 100. This is for LR. My RC is below that but I know the more I get better at MBT questions the better my RC becomes.
18:50
I watched the trailer for that movie. The run time is 2 hours. May watch it on 2x the speed. Just watched se7en and thats like as graphic as I get so I kinda need a break from weird bodyhorror stuff. The sloth guy in that movie scared me.
18:51
I do like psychological horror though.
18:53
Oh jesus don’t watch the movie at all if you’re gonna watch it on 2x speed
18:54
I have never used lsat demon; how do their levels relate to actual lsat scoring?
18:56
kinda go in 20 point intervals. 20 points if you have mastered lvl 1 difficulty questions, 100 points if you have mastered lvl 5.
18:56
Getting 100 points is incredibly difficult though. anything baout 95 is pushing the 175-180 range. 90-95 is like 170-174 or so. etc.
18:56
yeah but if you’re getting a 95 on all sections what LSAT score is that? how is that calculated?
18:56
oh okay
18:57
so 100 would be a 180?
18:57
Yeah, 100 is like you would get a 180 and there's nothing more to teach you. I have only seen someone with a 100 like 2/3 times.
18:57
are you taking practice tests that are being scored though?
18:57
or just drills
18:57
Yep, they get factored into it.
18:58
I do drilling essentially every day. A timed section every 3, and a test every 2 weeks.

re: WashU's URM lsat differential - fair to chalk that up to LSAT redaction weirdness messing w the scale or are they generally starved for URMs

And an (albeit negligible) inverse URM GPA differential
Just found out LSAC gpa is different from offical from undergrad, went from 3.0 on 4.0 scale to 2.67... Guess I'm a super splitter rather than a splitter
