Yes, it is, but as we have seen from some of the posts 
to this thread, not everybody realizes this or is able to muster up the
confidence to do it on their own.  If your manager knows what the hell
he/she is doing, then consulting on a situation like this early on
should result in a "have you told this person clearly that you want 
these conversations to end?" some moral support in 
summoning up the nerve to do it and some idea of 
what the next step will be if it doesn't work, rather than 
spending some period of days, weeks or months 
becoming more and more frustrated and uncomfortable 
in your workplace.
