The law says that favoritism by itself is not "discrimination based on sex" because all other employees are equally disadvantaged. However, when sexual favoritism creates a hostile work environment, then that is another matter. If favoritism based upon the granting of sexual favors is widespread in the workplace, both male and female co-workers who do not welcome this conduct can establish a hostile work environment which may constitute discrimination even if they themselves were not the target of any favorable treatment as a result of the sexual favors and whether or not those who were granted favorable treatment willingly bestowed the sexual favors.
