Method of Madness:
I'm glad you did, I was going to point it out otherwise. That being said, what someone claims as their intent should obviously not be the deciding factor, but figuring out the intent should be important.
Matheyus:
If someone creates an environment in which another person is made to feel that they are being sexually harassed, as Lt. Potter clearly was, then it falls under sexual harassment, at least by the definitions I've grown up with. With that in mind, I agree that intent is important; people who don't realize the negative impact that they're having are usually a lot more forgivable, if they correct their actions after gaining that knowledge, than people who know exactly what they're doing and do it anyway.

Difficult, that. In my circle (i.e. both at work and among my children) it is entirely normal for both men and women to use "guy" for either gender - so I simply don't see it as sexist.
