"Hostile Work Environment" != Miserable working conditions.

From blm.gov,

"A hostile work environment is actionable in the EEO process when it is based on allegations of discrimination; e.g., race, color, sex, national origin, religion, age, disability or sexual orientation1, or reprisal."



So if a manager only shouts insults at women, it is illegal; if he shouts insults at everyone, it is completely legal?


Not a lawyer, but that seems pretty spot on.
