I am really sick of Beyonce and Nicki Minaj holding themselves out to be feminists and “powerful women” and then continuing to make videos that feed into patriarchal values and misogynistic expectations simply because they rake in money for it. Is it okay to set aside true feminist values to collect a paycheck? No.…

Elta MD UV Clear (SPF 46) for those of us with SUPER SENSITIVE SKIN. It’s expensive but doesn’t have that horrible thick oily layer that I think makes so many of us skip sunscreen in the first place.

Clarins UV Plus HP SPF 40 Day Screen for my face. It sits really well under makeup and is long lasting. I haven’t even gotten any new freckles since I started wearing this. For my body, Neutrogena Ultra Sheer Dry-Touch Sunscreen, SPF 100. I am high-risk for melanoma and have had many, many moles removed. My…

I have never worked at a place where people have sent around emails like this. I don’t understand who would ever think this is appropriate work behavior, for ANY job, let alone for a job as a police officer. They are literally joking about sending black people to jail in rigged systems and about the domestic violence…

Who are these people who are so fucking blatant about the fact that they’re racist, sexist pieces of shit?

Sorry, I meant his horrible WASP-ass family that he came from-the ones that had the blood feud with the admittance counselor of the prep school he wanted to send his daughter to. He knew he would never escape the shadow of his father, his mother, and his brother if he stayed in New York, so he had to escape. So he,…

Yeah and the ending also made it unnecessary to show Don going back to New York and actually doing the work (something Freddy Rumsen told him earlier this season). The thing that bothered me about this finale was that we spent SO much time watching Don deal with his stupid hurt man-feelings when the other characters…

You surely understand that this is fiction, not reality, and that liberties are expected to be taken?

Yeah, if Joan had been offering a chance to break out into an ad agency, I would have been more on board. But for the type of work Joan was focusing on, Peggy would have been vastly overqualified...and creatively unfulfilled.

The two women have very different history with respect to their career ambitions. Joan is wealthier, has fewer conventional options, and is further along in her career than Peggy. I could see Peggy branching out on her own in a decade or two, but at the moment, she’s getting what she wants by mostly following the…

I too had been thinking / hoping when the other female execs at McCann seemed to have it out for Peggy that Peggy and Joan would team up. They’re still looking out for one another, I imagine. But Peggy is so good at what she does, and if you think back to when Don asked her what she saw for her future: Peggy wants to…

Yes, I think Sally will be fine. She won’t be the doting daughter that Don seems to have wanted, but she doesn’t hate him and will negotiate her relationship with him on her own terms. I also don’t think she’s heading down the path of Betty-dom. She’s not a person who breaks very easily, and I think she’ll get to see…

1) Ultimately, the show came back to its roots. Advertising is the commodification of genuine feelings and emotions. Don’s breakdown listening to his fellow support group member’s struggles with being loved echoed Harry’s breakdown during Don’s “Carousel” speech way way back in Season 1, and the end result was the…

Yeah, i think Sally’s relationship to Don exemplifies the complicated relationships a lot of us have with our parents: we eventually understand that they are not infallible, that they screw up but we love them anyway because they are our parents. I think Sally is one of the most grown up characters on this show full…

Do you really think Peggy would have been happy writing internal corporate videos?

I didn’t think Peggy rejected Joan’s offer because of Stan. I think she rejected the offer because, yes, she would have been a partner, but she would have been working on internal corporate videos. When Joan floated the offer, I was like: hell, no! Peggy has a much bigger creative vision and would have been selling…

I really don’t think Sally hates Don. He might think she does, but I don’t think she actually does. She just sees him as a flawed person, and she’s also angry and sad and scared.

Jesus, is this 1st season?
