A Family that Preys, by Tyler Perry is about a family that, as the title suggests, preys on each other. The main two characters work in the same business and have the same level of education. The woman who works for the man sleeps her way up top and has a conversation with another woman who is above her and is baffled when, the woman in a higher position was asked who she slept with to get where she is and her response is “nobody”.
Gamble & Gamble explains the woman as sex-object stereotype to be when women are overlooked and their appearance is more concentrated on then their performance. Even though the situation was not seen as a form of harassment in the movie, this is a type of quid pro quo sexual harassment. The woman did sexual favors for her boss in exchange for cash and cars.
