Personally, I would use the picture of a shouting army sergeant for demand, and a picture of a woman whispering to another for degrogatory. Men, especially military men, demand, while women are more likely to aggress by indirect methods, like making derogatory remarks.
I don't know if this will help, but I hope it does. Thanks for asking.

I like the shouting army sergeant for demand, but do you have another derogatory memory clue? i don't get the woman one....

Rather than confronting with aggression as most males do, women are more likely to aggress indirectly by spreading nasty rumors about their enemies with derogatory remarks. Since you are male, I can understand why this example doesn't appeal to you.
At this point, I can't think of another example. Maybe one of the other tutors can help.

I disagree with PsyDAG's premise about women making derogatory remarks.
A more typical scene might be a white man shouting the "n" word at a black man.

Reading DAG's remarks reminds me of several recent Presidents (starting with Nixon) who seem to be able to leak derogatory or damaging things about their critics, the most recent case involving Ms Plume. As I recall, none of the Presidents or aides involved were female. Maybe they were wannabe's, after all, and FBI director wore womens undergarments. He leaked a lot of derogatory information during the 50's also.
