I'm not going to argue that men get a heavier focus in Mad Men (especially one man in particular, i.e. Don), but throwing in Peggy as if she's being overshadowed by Roger and farking SAL who hasn't been seen or heard from in years is a little disingenuous. (Don's -- typically independent and savvy-- girlfriends get more time than Sal has had all said and done.) There's also Betty, Megan, and Sally as strong recurring characters. You look at the uber-stylish promo photos: between two pictures, you have 7 people shown, and 4 of them are women. You look at 3 pictures, you get 5 women to the 3 prominent men (Roger, Pete, Don). If we want to play the "and lots more game," well, there are "lots more" women characters as well who get just as little screentime.

Also the female characters in Mad Men are among the best and most interesting on television, they have their own plot and are often sharing storylines.
I hate Don Draper, but it bothers me when people complain about this being " a show about men" because it's like they are brushing off all the awesome ladies.
