In the Modern Family episode ‘All Things Being Equal’, members of the Dunphy, Pritchett and Tucker clans show their support for gender equality and the women’s movement. Of course, not all agree how to show their commitment — but that’s what makes the episode so funny. While Manny (Rico Rodriguez) and Luke (Noland Gould) attend a march (Manny wears a pink pussy hat), Jay (Ed O’Neill) and Phil (Ty Burrell) have different ideas on how their lot should be run by their parking lot attendant Joan.

(Deputy Raineesha Williams), among others. Modern Family airs Wednesdays at 9pm on ABC.
