Was Bashir guilty of sexual harassment in season 1 with Dax?

I think what really happened was Bashir The Sexusl Harrasser was actually an alternate universe. Yep. That's my theory.

What really happened was Bashir and Jadzia hooked up, and lived each other, got married, had kids and moved to Bajor, to a small town. they home schooled their kids because they didn't want the exposed to the Bajoran religion taught in school.
Anyway their oldest and youngest children both became medical doctors, the middle one joined the Orian Syndicate ( they think)
He may have become an Orian slave Trader, (that may be in an alternate universe)

Anyway since Jadzia liked Bashir pursuing her and etc.
this thread is mute.

Moot.
 
Genuine question, did Jadzia ever lead Bashir on so he would keep persuing, whilst knowing she wouldn't ever accept his advances?
Dax has lived as a male and female, from what I can recall she never looked upset that Bashir had a crush on her. If he had a translucent skull she would have jumped his bones.

That's not really what I meant. I was asking if Jadzi ever thought/acted like "Bashir likes me, I like that he likes me, but I don't like him. Even so, I'm going to not let him know I don't like him, so I can carry on liking him liking me"....

If that makes sense...

She lets him know in "Starship" down that she enjoyed being chased by him and misses it. And I believe she says something about it being too bad he came on so strong.

It's when they're trapped together in a corridor.
 
I have been sexually harassed a lot in real life.
1.they have NEVER looked as good as Bashir.
2. If what he did to Jadzia was sexual Harrassment, I'm a coffee cup.
3. If they put my incidents on screen it would be 15 episodes of Law & Order.
4. Possibly I'm jaded.
 
Bashir wasn't guilty of sexual harassment IMO because he wasn't in a position of power over Jadzia, and even if he had been her superior officer, she was so much his superior in every other way that the idea of harassment is almost amusing. His holosuite choices started out as adolescent male fantasies (James Bond type), and from there moved on to his buddy/let's fight to the end and die together scenarios that he shared with O'Brien, which is a sign of growth on his part, I guess.
And speaking of our poster boy of sexual harassment, Quark, I find it interesting that he seems most attracted to women who are strong and can (and probably do) totally kick his ass.

In the 1990's - no
In the 2010's - yes. He is a man interested in a woman, so he is guilty. He's also a homophobe for not harassing any men (well... he did annoy O'Brien...)
