Sexual Harassment: comments, gestures, or physical contacts of a sexual nature that are deliberate, repeated, and unwelcome. In one episode, the entire team is forced to sit through a lecture on sexual harassment and its inappropriateness.
Patriarchy: A form of social organization in which males dominate females. The United States is often seen as a patriarchy, seeing as many people in positions of power, such as Gibbs and Vance, are male. However, they don't appear to abuse women with this power.
Sexism: Belief that one sex is innately superior to the other. None of the NCIS agents seems to think themselves above one another solely based on their gender.
