It’s much more about the opportunity for an employee to claim that he or she has been subjected to sexual harassment under the British sex equality legislation than anything else.
Under that and other legislation the responsibility lies with the employer to protect the “victim”, and so it would be the pub landlord who would get it in the neck if the barmaid objected to being referred to in a way that the courts decided that the “victim” FOUND to be sexually offensive.
