I don't think he's referring to laws, so much as company policy.

Well the laws about sexual harassment are literally what define what sexual harassment is legally so that's extremely relevant.

They wrote that that way specifically because what one person considers acceptable may not be to another person.

For example imagine that you are dating a co-worker and give her a hug before you go to your separate work stations. To your GF this is not considered as unwanted and therefore not sexual harassment.

But the imagine doing that exact same thing to a woman on her first day, that may make her extremely uncomfortable and feel unwanted in that workplace and would therefore be sexual harassment.

Not really relevant when regarding the policies of a private business. In a private company, even the recipient of the attention doesn't necessarily get to determine if the behaviour was inappropriate. HE and company policy make that call. I've seen male employees get in trouble with management because they touched a female employee, not even in a groping or sexual way, and surveillance noticed and filed a report about it.
