Harassment Based on Sex: Protecting Social Status in the Context of Gender Hierarchy
将基于性别的骚扰概念化为贬低个体的行为，提出其根本动机是骚扰者保护或提升自身基于性别的地位，源于社会地位按性别等级分层。该理论解释了已知的性骚扰形式并预测了其他形式，包括女性间的非性骚扰。
I conceptualize sex-based harassment as behavior that derogates an individual based on sex. I propose that sex-based harassment is fundamentally motivated by the harasser's desire to protect or enhance his or her own sex-based status, a desire that stems from the fact that social status is stratified by a system of gender hierarchy. This theory explains currently identified forms of sexual harassment and predicts others, including nonsexual harassment between women.
