Editing Hostile work environment (section)

== Workplace Harassment Precedent for the Reasonable Woman ==
The intricacy of workplace sexual harassment is not well represented by the reasonable woman criterion. It falls under the impression that a ‘reasonable woman’ does not get sexually harassed at work, thus creating a hostile workplace. Still, the article goes against the fact that that definition of a ‘reasonable woman’ is not entirely true to reality. The truth is that many women are dealing with hostile workplace environments. There are court cases that adopted the idea that sexual harassment creates a hostile workplace environment. The court case that shifted us from ‘reasonable person’ to ‘reasonable woman’ was ''Ellison v. Brady, 1991''. This case is extremely important because it gave new meaning to the word. The new standard was behavior a reasonable woman would think was extreme enough to change the terms of employment and establish a hostile work environment.<ref>{{cite journal |last1=Hoffmann |first1=Elizabeth A. |title=Women treated differently: why the 'reasonable woman' standard might not be reasonable |journal=Equal Opportunities International |date=April 2004 |volume=23 |issue=3/4/5 |pages=67–79 |doi=10.1108/02610150410787738 }}</ref>
