unwelcomeness definition
unwelcomeness require- ment (#2 above) means that employ- ers are not necessarily liable for harassing acts that are objectively objectionable-iliat is, so offensive, severe and pervasive as to undermine working conditions in the eyes of any ordinary person. The plaintiff must prove in addition that she in particu- lar is not "the kind of girl" who likes such treatment. She must prove her non -consent. As legal scholars have demonstrated, defendants who can- not deny that the plaintiff was badly treated nonetheless try at trial to undermine her credibility by intro- ducing evidence bearing on her dress and manner, sexual history, and other sexual conduct outside of work. The goal is to prove that she is in fact "that kind of girl."
