* AnAesop: Men can be sexually harassed, women can be sexual predators, and sexual harassment is sexual harassment, regardless of gender, and needs to be taken seriously.



* BrokenAesop: The episode attempts to discuss the double standard of [[DoubleStandardRapeFemaleOnMale a man being assaulted by a woman]]. Peter is repeatedly demeaned and not taken seriously when Angela assaults him, but the episode never actually says that these characters are in the wrong for dismissing Peter, and when Peter finally stands up for himself, he ends up having to ''help'' Angela after she attempts suicide. Because of this, the episode's plot and themes ultimately ''enforce'' the harmful double standard instead of criticising it.

In real life, it's completely illegal and morally reprehensible for employers to solicit sex from employees, regardless of gender.
