4262 A female plaintiff suing for hostile work environment sexual harassment does not make out a case merely by showing that sexually coarse and vulgar language was used in the workplace, but must also show that a male in her position would not have been exposed to the same conditions; a reasonable trier of fact could not conclude that an assistant to writers working in a creative environment where the writers' language, conduct, and gestures were focused on generating scripts for "Friends," an adult-oriented comedy show featuring sexual themes, and were not directed at her personally or at any other woman in the workplace had been a victim of sexual harassment based on gender or that the work environment was hostile in violation of the Fair Employment and Housing Act (FEHA).CitationLYLE v WARNER BROS (Off Color Dialog) 38 C4 264 [See: GovC 12900 etseq; Lyle v Warner Brothers (RevGrtd) 117 CA4 1164, T/AT 5/04; Accardi v SuperCt 17 CA4 341, T/AT 9/93]
