I've been thinking a lot about the Reeves case, because something about it just hasn't been sitting right with me. I think I've finally put my finger on it. When a female employee or women in general are not the target of the offensive conduct, finding that the harassment is "based on" sex because women are more likely to be offended by the conduct then men confuses the intent of the alleged harasser with whether the plaintiff welcomed the conduct.

By injecting a gender's perceived sensitivities into the equation, the court makes the intent of the conduct irrelevant. In doing so, the Reeves court has essentia

Interest-rate derivatives are signaling that the rate banks charge for loans in dollars in London may rise further as financial institutions remain reluctant to lend.
The difference between the rate of three-month loans in London relative to the overnight index swap rate, known as the Libor-OIS spread, is 88 basis points, just below the year high of 90 basis points reached on April 21.
