1. This passage applies to both women and men. The fact that women should not have the upper hand in their intelligence even from the past is just absurd. I feel as in any race or gender should have an equal chance to have an education, therefore women should have respect towards themselves to not be condescended from men.
2. When Rich says "ethical and intellectual contract," she is referring to personal boundaries in the classroom. From an ethical standpoint, teachers have boundaries and moral codes that they must stay within. The intellectual contract refers to boundaries of a teacher's ability to instruct and a student's ability to learn. Teachers must teach to the best of their ability, and beyond. Students must always learn whatever they can and then try to absorb more.
