This is both amazing as a historical artifact and for the questions themselves —27 years later, many of these would be just as relevant if they were dropped into a student’s Twitter feed. The question that begins “It seems that you are desexualizing sexual harassment” stands out to me in particular. It hits right at the discrepancy between the image the term “sexual harrassment” brings to mind (say, a lecherous boss) and the variety of ways gender can be exploited to reinforce & exploit the power differentials in a work environment.
