It's not necessarily a bad contrast, just played up a lot. For example, PJ complains about having to go to "lady-parties" while Stephanie loves the wedding shower since everyone there loves her book about relationships.lindsayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13285797515594923013noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6730657139931062421.post-9098974083541400612008-07-29T09:46:00.000-05:002008-07-29T09:46:00.000-05:00I had a recent post about this-- the conflict you ...I had a recent post about this-- <A HREF="http://takeajump.blogspot.com/2008/07/youre-such-guy.html" REL="nofollow">the conflict you feel with being "like a guy" or "one of the guys."</A> I've never seen this show, but it seems interesting.

It sounds like PJ's good qualities are that she's funny, knowledgeable, and active in an interesting field. None of these things are inherently 'masculine,' but sometimes they're presented that way. I'm going to guess that she's also empathetic and kind - most likable TV characters are. Are Stephanie's 'feminine' characteristics frivolousness/an over-emphasis on fashion or men, over-emotionality, or something equally as negative?<BR/><BR/>Of course, I could be waaay off-base. I will watch some of the show, though, since you recommend it.habladorahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01730183259272125337noreply@blogger.com
