Everyone has opinions, but you are so wrong.

Why? It was a nice breath of fresh air in this usually depressing show. It’s fine if some people get to be happy. If you must, think about poor Sally and then you can feel like the sappy love was cancelled out by her misery :)

This is a joke, right?

Jessica Pare as Peggy? WAT.

How FABULOUS did Trudy look? :-)

I love Joan on coke.

FUCK YEA STEGGY

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…

I am an unapologetic “Steggy” fan, but I too loved Roger and Marie the most. “A bottle of champagne for my mother.” Ha!

I felt like the whole thing ended up being a play on the Wizard of Oz - Don finally accepted the fact that his job is to be the man behind the curtain - the world needs it. Peggy, Joan and Roger all realized that they had the things they needed/thought they lacked (Smarts/talent, courage and heart) and Pete even went…

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…

It made me so so happy that she got both of her cats namesakes in the video!

Gwen Stefani called and she wants it all back.

When I read this piece and others like it, I feel a strange sense of frustration at my mother’s choices. She graduated from high school in the early 60’s. Her college education was cut short by an unplanned pregnancy, and she married her boyfriend—a marriage that went down in flames of infidelity ten years later. Then…

Very well said, fortheloveofbeets. Patriarchy is very well served by the divide-and-conquer technique. If feminists fight among ourselves, we are less focused on creating social change - and that translates across the spectrum of social activity. Patriarchy intentionally sets up women to compete with women, instead of…

One of the main points of this article was that not very long ago, women WERE obligated to do domestic work because they were women, and they weren’t allowed to do anything else. Have fun with your bread.

I’m not sure why some feminists feel the need to mock domestic things like ironing, cooking, baking, etc.

It’s very slow-burn for all the characters, but sticking with it will pay off in the long run. Mad Men is a staunchly feminist show.
