She's definitely sexy. Part of how she's dressed is a component of what you see when you watch the news on stations such as Telemundo (?). I have seen female news anchors and meteorologists on some Latin American stations who were clearly placed there for viewers to WATCH.

However, you can be beautiful and sexy without exuding it in the manner that she is. Her outfits are doing too much. I'm sure she's dressed like that as a result of a combination of encouragement from her bosses and her own free will. I would say the same for a male reporter who found it necessary to wear a muscle shirt and scrotum clinching pants in a WNBA setting. Save the sexy for a better venue, people.

Sexual harassment? Nah. Hypermasculinity? Yes. A lesson to be learned and a cultural note about a distinction between sexuality in North America and sexuality in Latin America? Yes.

This is also a reminder that something can be sexual harassment even if the target encouraged it (i.e. if this reporter smiled or twitched her ass even more as the cat calling began) and didn't mind how she or he was being approached.
