Sure, Margaret and Gillian are complex and human, but that only makes the treatment of the show's more tertiary women (which is most of them) even more incongruous and frustrating.

Only they're not "nearly anonymous" at all? They have names, they have opinions and feelings of their own which they sometimes (at least attempt to) express, and they're seen at various other points in the series living their lives and doing other shit.
