If you ask me to call you Bill and I continue to call you Nancy, that is sexual harassment. Pronouns just depersonalize it one step by using a pronoun instead of a noun. 

If one of my staff bought that to me I would go right into the classic pathway of sexual harassment complaints.

But [i]why [/i]is that sexual harassment? I ask this not to be persnickety for detail but because when we make something a law and punish violations of that law with being locked inside a jail cell for a year less one day the government needs to demonstrate a compelling case for why their behavior was so wrong as to rise to the level that the government must use force to compel them to change.
