Normally, I don't let television affect me so much anymore. But tonight's epsiode of Mad Men really threw me. Well, it didn't exactly, but some commentary I found on one of the blogs did.
For those of you who aren't MM fans, the plot of the episode involved the three main female characters coming up against some world class '60s misogyny (ie; being forced to prostitute themselves) and...I can't really say whether I think anyone succeeded in overcoming it.
While I was reading one of the Mad Men discussion sites, about a hundred comments in one of the posters added:
"I want to go back and hug the women who came before me, who lived through that time (and times even worse before), and fought for something better, and made it not so awful anymore (for many of us…it’s not perfect yet…)."
Aaaaand my keyboard blurred. It's still blurry.
