Not to sound like an SJW or anything, but it's a very good thing when kids shows teach kids about gender discrimination. This story is timeless.

I like the way Constance showed concern for Emily's feelings - it just goes to show she _can_ be an empathic friend when it matters.

and....I just found my childhood

Definitely one of the best episodes to come out of Season 3. It shows the boy versus girl scenario, and it teaches the lesson, never to judge or exclude someone from a group because who they are. This was the perfect episode for Emily, and I loved Constance the Coast Guard's role in this episode too, it was definitely one of Constance's best episodes in the series, and one of the best episodes to come out of Season 3 too.

A simple yet universally important lesson for children to learn. I wish other kid's shows would show something like this, to understand why it's never okay to discriminate someone based on gender. The subject was handled very well.

George overlooked a very important proverb in the life for males of all humans, species, and sentient vehicles: "Never underestimate the power of a girl!

Poor Emily

Thank you so much you two! At long last, the circle is complete!

I finally found my childhood.

4:56 Theodore: my godness bless me!

I have a feeling today this would be boycotted and hated on! And I can understand why but still! At least Emily shows how she can do anything

Poor emily

The Music is LEGENDARY, I also really Love Emily

A very important episode AND life lesson for people of all ages. We must NEVER judge or discriminate based upon gender or sex. We should learn to look past such things and judge our peers based on their actions and their character. This is why I loved Theodore growing up : )

Have I mentioned that the musical bit at 7:09 - 7:21 is my favorite music piece in this show?

When they are trying to stop the container ship, "No Time For Caution" from the Interstellar soundtrack fits strangely well.

This is going to be a good show to show to my nephew.

Poor Harbor Master. Uninvited to a picnic just because he’s no longer a boat captain.

I'm surprised Emily didn't hear Owan's "HEY! WATCH OUT THERE!"

think about it if George had not insulted Emily with his boys only talk he would not gotten in trouble!

holy fuck the quality is amazing.

I feel bad for Emily. No one should be excluded from any special occasion even if they’re different.

FINALLY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Nothing like two boy tugboats building up their testosterone levels in their engines 😆😆

Moral of the story: Girls can be just as strong and powerful as Boys. There is no one beating the other, if you put your mind to it, you can accomplish anything.

Poor Emily. She and the Harbor Master can both relate to being excluded for a petty reason.

Anytime I'm watching the intro I always hope to see Hank spinning Bedford. Because that means we get to see the whole intro!

I used to think Emily felt special being the only girl tug in the Great Ocean Fleet, until George told her that sh*t about girl tugs not good at doing tug-of-war. Plus, after this episode, George fortunately began to show more respect towards Emily. As for the HM, I'm happy he was invited to the picnic after all 🙂

George sounds like mr Krupp

Welp, it's official. George is sexist.

it's George's fault!

George was basically being a sexist to Emily in this episode. I'm glad he apologized in the end.

Catherine And katherine had both a same name, but different letter in the beginning

George shouldn't treat his friends like that. It wasn't right exclude Emily from the Tug of War.

Wait does it mean as in like the game tug of war or a tug thats been in war?

Alternate title for the episode: George is a Misogynist

I like the message of the episode, though I find it odd how George, of all people, has to be taught this lesson. Sure, he's not the nicest Tug, but most of the time when he butts heads with Emily, it's over their egos rather than their sexes. I feel like a new character could've held the beliefs for this episode, like one of the many extra cargo ships the show has.

Yeah I'm mean girls can play tug of war too and boys too you know that George

U.S government: you can't vote women: why not? U.S government: 3:19 (this is from history i just don't remember when)

George, tug of war is no just for boys. Girls can play tug of war too.

George being a royle turd in this one. 💩 Smh. And when he blew smoke in her face, that was so rude.😡 I love Constance's role in this episode, it was cool when she said "that's nonsense!" 😂

Who’s the ship where the shot show Emily and Constance in 10:31?

Which is better. Theodore tugboat or Tugs.

Boy tugs? Girl tugs? What's the difference? They all look the same.

This episode shows George at his worst. He’s being a sexist prick to Emily
