A woman who sued her employer for allowing a hostile workplace cannot pursue her claim based on two separate incidents where she accidentally saw pornography that her male coworkers were viewing on company computers. However, the court ruled [1] that she could pursue a claim based on the overall environment in which women were continually denigrated, called names, and placed in sexual situations.
