So in my thesis of the family templates that are offered up, I think the story that's offered up with Rachel Green is a story of someone who wants to break generational patterns and traumas with her behavior.

So

Her father is this incredibly paternalistic, angry, domineering, seems quite misogynistic man who's had seemingly very little...

in common with his ex-wife.

It doesn't sound like he really respected her.

It doesn't sound like she really respected him.

And women within that family are expected to marry and stop working.

Rachel's story is about marrying the man who could not be more the opposite of her dad.

Ross is like the beta male.

And what was so important to her was about

having independence, having her own identity, making her own money, having this huge career.

So I think that's the big story that's offered with her of how her adult life has been a total kind of correction of what she was taught when she was young in her family home.

It's just true.

You meet one of those women, I would say it's like one in 500 women.

Yeah.

I was at a dinner recently with one of them.

One in 500 women.

It's so interesting to watch them.

They're like... They're just so... Crucially so hot.
