Finished Dipper vs. Manliness.
Dragon Quest, take some notes. This is how to critique stereotypical masculinity correctly.
The Manotaurs perform some stereotypical behavior to be a "man," but there are no implications of sexism and xenophobia. Rather than going after the Manotaus and generalizing them for the whole, Dipper only calls out their behavior and sticks up to his own morale and preferences. The Multi-Bear is a really nice guy who likes to listen to Disco Girl (a parody of ABBA's Dancing Queen, one of my favorites from the band), and Dipper can relate to him.
Although Stan and Mabel tease him for not being manly, this part of their personality doesn't last very long. The B-plot of trying to impress Stan enough to hook him and Lazy Susan (a great character herself) up is nice, and the payoff is both sweet and hilarious.
While DQ is supposed to critique stereotypical masculinity, the story's structure, dialogue, and antagonists paint masculinity off as toxic, period; and Spike is shamed for being a dragon. DvM doesn't shame him for being man, instead criticizes the one-dimensional stereotypes attached to it. There's more than on right way to be "masculine" or a man. To top it off, when Dipper explains it to them, Stan says he did the right thing. To have a character, who can fall into that stereotype if you're not careful, affirm his morals is an marvelous touch.
Another well-done GF episode!

Hello everypony. How are yall today? I'm pretty good. Sorry I'm a little late postin my status update. I was doin Volleyball Gate Guard for R.O.T.C. Since the last time they updated the sheets for how many hours each cadet has, I have 16 hours. Since then I've done 2 Volleyball gate guards which is about an hour or an hour and a half each. So I will either be at 18 or 19 hours when they next update. Hopefully there will be more community service sign up sheets. I want to get a ribbon for 30 hours of community service but the time resets at the end of the semester so I must hustle and get as many as possible. Also thank you everypony for 3200 brohoofs. I really appreciate it. How are yall today?

>Manotaurs deny Dipper manly lessons
Dipper: Fine! That's okay with me. Obviously, you guys think it will be too hard to train me. Maybe…you're not *man* enough to try.

Man, Dipper completely misconstrued "mailman" as "male man."
Can't blame him when Stan and Mabel laughed at him for not being "manly" and then embarrassed himself for failing the free pancakes machine.
