1. When is behavior, sexual or otherwise, degrading or demeaning toward women, and how is this to be judged? What does it mean for a book or film to endorse such behavior? Can behavior toward men be just as degrading or demeaning as behavior toward women? Explain your answer.
2. Should gender or sexual orientation ever be a consideration to hire someone or in contracting services? If yes, why should it be considered? If no, why not? What about those who work in a field that are traditionally performed by people of the opposite gender (i.e. a male nurse or a female plumber)? Explain your answer.
