This includes, but is not limited to, threats of violence; discriminatory jokes or language; sharing sexually explicit or violent material; personal insults, particularly those using racist or sexist terms; unwelcome sexual attention; and advocating for or encouraging any of these behaviors. If someone asks you to stop something, you are expected to comply immediately.
