Most tuxes are rented, though. And we know how she feels about clothing other people have worn...

Good boy. You found it before I did.

Well, I use your SxS summary. You're only as good as your reference works, after all!

--- Quote from: Westrim on 28 Feb 2012, 00:49 ---Question: can something without a gender (appearances aside) commit sexual harassment, legally?
--- End quote ---
That's a pretty ciscentric thing to say. And that's all I can say about it. I don't really get why you would think sexual harassment has anything to do with gender.
Unrelated note, what makes you think Station has no legal gender?
--- End quote ---
And that's a pretty inflammatory thing to say, assuming how I feel or think about it. Don't go fishing for things to be insulted by. I was asking, objectively, whether laws against sexual harassment note the gender of either party. Perhaps in the course of noting that both of the usual two can be cited, they inadvertently exclude those who are neither.
That Jeph and the comic have made no reference yet that I know of about the AIs choosing or being given a gender makes me think it has no gender, legal or otherwise. Its appearance (and our assumptions about the AnthroPCs we've met) may just be anthropomorphization. Why do you think it does or was it just more fishing?
pwhodges:
Gender of AnthroPCs in QC; presumably other AIs are similar, as they seem to be able to change role quite dramatically.
Near Lurker:
Sexual harassment actually has everything to do with gender - the theory behind it isn't that you're creating an uncomfortable workplace, but that you're creating an uncomfortable workplace for women, or for women perceived as attractive, and thus discriminating against them. The idea that it's bad in and of itself is a weird post-feminist emergence.
