Check My Work

Yassir Mohammed was an entry$-$level employee for a data analytics firm. He is gay, which he shared with his co$-$workers. Bobby Combs, another entry$-$level employee, sat at the desk next to him and frequently made "jokes" that are derogatory toward gay men. For example, when they discussed sports, he often referred to players he did not like as "queers." He also made comments directed at Yassir, such as calling him "Sweet Cheeks" and asking if Yassir wanted to kiss him. After six months of trying to quietly ignore these comments, Yassir reported Bobby to his supervisor. His supervisor offered to relocate Bobby's desk to a different floor and to force Bobby to complete sensitivity training. Yassir declined his supervisor's offer and instead decided to abruptly leave his job, fed up with his coworker's behavior. If Yassir sues the firm for sexual harassment, which of the following is the strongest argument the firm can make to defend itself?

a$.$ The harassment was not sufficiently severe or pervasive.

b$.$ He was a man allegedly being harassed by another man
