- Parodied: Bob disguises himself as a woman... and all the men fall in love with him.
- Invoked: Carl tries this to be One of the Girls in Diane's group of friends.
- Exploited: Edward accuses Bob of being a sissy and tries to lynch him.
- Defied: Bob hates feminine clothing, so he tries another plan.
- Played for Laughs:
