Sexual harassment - Definition and More from the Free Merriam-Webster Dictionary
You have no valid argument, and thank you for proving my point.
1.) You are also trying to change goal posts by going to sexual harassment
(and that isn't going to fly), which is not general harassment which this topic is about.
2.) Again, specificity. Sexual harassment is a legal term
which does not apply here.
3.) She was in the public, not a workplace.
4.) She is not a subordinate of any of those in the video.

Sexual Harassment
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature that tends to create a hostile or offensive work environment.
Sexual harassment is a form of Sex Discrimination that occurs in the workplace. Persons who are the victims of sexual harassment may sue under Title VII of the Civil Rights Act of 1964 (42 U.S.C.A. § 2000e et seq.), which prohibits sex discrimination in the workplace.
The federal courts did not recognize sexual harassment as a form of sex discrimination until the 1970s, because the problem originally was perceived as isolated incidents of flirtation in the workplace. Employers are now aware that they can be sued by the victims of workplace sexual harassment. The accusations of sexual harassment made by anita f. hill against Supreme Court Justice Clarence Thomas during his 1991 confirmation hearings also raised societal consciousness about this issue.
Courts and employers generally use the definition of sexual harassment contained in the guidelines of the U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC). This language has also formed the basis for most state laws prohibiting sexual harassment. The guidelines state:
Unwelcome sexual advances, requests for sexual favors, and other verbal or physical conduct of a sexual nature constitute sexual harassment when
submission to such conduct is made either explicitly or implicitly a term or condition of an individual's employment,
submission to or rejection of such conduct by an individual is used as the basis for employment decisions affecting such individuals, or
such conduct has the purpose or effect of unreasonably interfering with an individual's work performance or creating an intimidating, hostile, or offensive working environment. (29 C.F.R. § 1604.11 [1980])

EEOC
Sexual Harassment
[...]
Although the law doesn’t prohibit simple teasing, offhand comments, or isolated incidents that are not very serious, harassment is illegal when it is so frequent or severe that it creates a hostile or offensive work environment or when it results in an adverse employment decision (such as the victim being fired or demoted).

Sexual Harassment
Like I said, it's subjective.
And like I pointed out, you are wrong.
Specific criteria (parameters) must be met in order for each to be either sexual harassment or regular harassment.
And now for the finale point as to why you are wrong.
All of the comments in the video fit both definitions because all of the comments were uninvited, unwelcome and unsolicited.
1.) :naughty They fit neither
2.) Not that it matters, but uninvited and unsolicited? Yes.
3.) In this instance
