Warning: This article contains spoilers for Bob's Burgers Season 11 Episode 9 "Mommy Boy" which aired December 6 on FOX

Bob's Burgers has always been a progressive show from the start. It has great LGBT representation, creating an open and respectable world with accepting characters, similar to the show Schitt's CreekBob's Burgers has also done plenty in terms of breaking down gender norms.

Gene, the only son of the Belcher family, is more in touch with his feminine side, but he still has masculine attributes. Meanwhile, the youngest daughter, Louise, is more of a tomboy who tries to hide her feminine side, but she does have moments where this side comes out. In the episode "Mommy Boy," the series once again broke down gender norms with a spa day and a boxing lesson.

The episode opened with Gene and Linda discussing their weekly spa day -- Spaturday -- where they sit in a bath with relaxing music and face masks. However, when Linda was invited to join a Women in Business meeting, which fell on the same time as Spaturday, Gene's upset. While Bob offered to take Linda's place and join Spaturday, he was reluctant to do so. Alongside this, Louise and Tina got interested in a Rocky knockoff called Ham and Egger, so they attempted to learn to box.

Bob, who was hesitant at first, got into the bath with Gene and put on a face mask, discovering, much to his shock, that this was refreshing and enjoyable. The following week, Gene went with Linda to the meeting, and Bob was almost heartbroken that Spaturday's canceled, since he was looking forward to some more relaxation.

Meanwhile, Tina and Louise asked Bob to train them in boxing, which Bob happily accepted, as he had a one-week-experience at a boxing class from about 13-years-ago. Bob did his best to teach them, but the girls didn't listen to him. Later, Teddy joined in, and the kids decided to gage how much they've learned by punching each other, getting injured in the process.

This episode, along with many others, played against the societal norms of gender by removing the barriers associated with certain activities. Gene and Bob were comfortable taking a relaxing, at-home spa day, while Louise and Tina felt motivated to learn boxing. These activities have often been gendered in the past; however, Bob's Burgers showed that anyone can enjoy these hobbies, regardless of their gender identity.

Bob's Burgers has made it its mission to be more inclusive and diverse within the cast and the crew. Back in June, series creator Loren Bouchard made a promise to recast Marshmallow, a character who is Black and transgenderDuring the Comic-Con@Home event in July, Bouchard also made sure to note an initiative to bring in more women into animation, stating that five out of the 11 writers are women and about 30 percent of the staff at Bento, the animation company that makes the show, are women.

Bouchard also noted how Bob's Burgers uses men to voice female identifying characters, but he was advised by Kristen Schaal to have more women voice male identifying characters as well. Nora Smith, the co-runner of the series, also made it a rule in the writers room to always give female characters jokes and deep storylines in order to make them more three dimensional, instead of them becoming just a wife or girlfriend.

Bob's Burgers is a fresh breath of accepting air in animation. The show takes strides to present itself as a show for anyone, making it a comforting and relaxing watch for the family. Bouchard is not done with providing diversity within his shows, as he hopes to bring in more diverse voices into the writers room and the animation studios, and this episode's proof of that.

Created by Loren Bouchard, Bob's Burgers stars H. Jon Benjamin, John Roberts, Dan Mintz, Eugene Mirman and Kristen Schaal. The series airs Sundays at 9:00 p.m. ET/PT on Fox.
