So Bored, he was exactly the kind of person who would get off on screwing someone who's not into it. And, yeah, I think you answered your own question re: possession being the point.

Ugh, Joey's reaction when she fired him, and his original offense in fact, were so disgusting that they totally negated any prior cuteness.

Lieutenant Buttocks, "um," sure, and pro athletes are paid jillions of dollars more than teachers, nurses, EMTs, etc. The problem remains that she wasn't rewarded fairly on her merits (there's no way that SCDP would have gotten off the ground without her), and that she was pushed into a double bind wherein she would…

Whatever. If I were offered a great professional opportunity that took me away for 3 mos., I'd talk it over with my husband first. But the conversation would be about how to do it, not whether I should, because he respects me as a person and not a damn prop. And Don's a big boy; that he thinks he can't stay sober or…

I'm wondering about the anti-feminism thing. The pitches he's come up with that reference women have been truly objectifying and creepy (the stalked-Cinderella thing, the Jaguar tagline), but I can't tell if they result from his actually subscribing to the ideas of women as prey/chattel or just his talent at…

I don't know, I think Peggy came out ahead.

I like him, but if Ken's the moral center of the show, then everybody else is in real trouble. Ken's a spectator. He's never been as serious about his job as Peggy (or any of the other people at the firm, for that matter) has been about hers, so I don't think he can really expect a serious commitment from her to that…

What pisses me off, and what reflects really poorly on the male partners (and by extension the ruling class of the period) is that Joan could/should have been made partner on her merits years ago. Now anyone who dislikes her or just needs to salve his conscience can just use the narrative that she made the choice to…

He really seemed to be evolving in the wake of raping the au pair. I remember thinking in seasons 3 and 4 that his and Trudy's marriage was one of the most functional and egalitarian partnerships on the show, and that he was the most forward-thinking of the partners. Then his wife's attention was divided by the kid,…

I think the partners just let him do the dirty work. They all know he's an untrustworthy shit, and any one of them could have gone to Joan to find out what she'd really said and how she really felt. Only Lane approached her, and it was with the agenda to protect himself. Pete's amorality is a huge benefit to the…
