I always felt like a lot of Mad Men fans missed the point. Especially when it came to Joan and the Jaguar deal. So many fans talked about how she was a slut for sleeping her way to a promotion. I'm pretty sure she was trying to keep her job.

some mad men fans seem to think it was awesome that the characters get away with treating women like crap.

WOW, seriously? People thought that? Holy crap. That whole episode made me *so mad* and so sick and furious on Joan's behalf. Made me cry. WOW.

Yeah, lots of fans were like "oh, she sold out" or "she got the promotion on her back."

Really, the whole Mad Men fandom was misaimed. So much sexism.

Grooooooooss.

I loved Mad Men, for a lot of reasons, but one of the biggest reason i loved it was watching most of the women on the show find their own power, do their own thing, realize that men/some men were toxic, that they didn't need them, that they had what it took *without* a man....

I re-watched it recently, and basically ff through most of Don's crap, and watched Betty, Peggy, Joan, and Megan with extra attention. And - though he's an ass and a jerk - i really liked Peter's story arc, too.
