I have been watching the show Friends since it was on and it is definitely one of my favorite shows. I have very many favorite episodes, and as I was watching it the other day, I rediscovered an episode that I not only thought was funny, but is relevant to what we have been discussing in my Women's Studies Class.
We had talked about the "man box" and how hard it is for a man to have characteristics or qualities that don't fit inside this box without being called names that make references to women or weakness. I found this clip on YouTube of an episode of Friends during season 6 which takes place after Joey's roommate moves in and changes the apartment completely. She adds pictures of watering cans, some potpourri, and also Joey teaches Monica how to properly arrange flowers. Chandler walks in while this is going on and he starts to accuse Joey of acting like a woman. I still think that this clip is funny, but now it has a different meaning to me because as we talked about it class, it seems that the worse thing you can call a man....is a woman.
Enjoy!
