Generally, however, sexual conduct that involves or is aimed at persons other than the plaintiff is considered less offensive and severe than conduct that is directed at the plaintiff. A hostile work environment sexual harassment claim by a plaintiff who was not personally subjected to offensive remarks and touchings requires \u2018an even higher showing\u2019 than a claim by one who had been sexually harassed without suffering tangible job detriment: such a plaintiff must \u2018establish that the sexually harassing conduct permeated [her] direct work environment.\u2019 [\u00b6] To meet this burden, the plaintiff generally must show that the harassment directed at others was in her immediate work environment, and that she personally witnessed it. The reason for this is obvious: if the plaintiff does not witness the incidents involving others, \u2018those incidents cannot affect \u2026 her perception of the hostility of the work environment.\u2019\u2009\u201d (<span class=\"SS_it\" data-housestyle=\"EMPHASIS_it\">Lyle v.
