This lively, illuminating debate on sexual harassment covers all the bases. These sophisticated essays certainly help clarify and resolve the issues.
— Alan Soble, University of New Orleans; co-editor of The Philosophy of Sex: Contemporary Readings (sixth edition, 2013)
A probing, well-reasoned book in which both authors set forth cogent arguments for their opposing positions. It is the best work on the morality of sexual harassment and should be read by anyone concerned to understand the complexity of the issue.
— Louis Pojman, US Military Academy
Hajdin raises astute criticisms of the present paradigm. LeMoncheck ably defends the feminist stance on sexual harassment, and offers telling rebuttals to Hajdin. All in all, a lively and provocative work.
— Ellen Frankel, Bowling Green State University
LeMoncheck and Hajdin's work recognizes the ambiguities and complexities inherent in sexual harassment. It reminds us that there are no easy resolutions to a debate that is just beginning.
— Billie Wright Dziech, coauthor of The Lecherous Professor: Sexual Harassment on Campus and Sexual Harassment in Higher Education
