    Yeah, "Mad Men" is really good...

    I was expecting one of those "Gee, life was so cool when guys could be Frank and Dino and women/everyone else would take it and like it" era-worships. (The kind of head GQ, DETAILS, and MAXIM love to wallow in.) But MM is a lot smarter and more inclusive than that.

    >you can't help marveling at the ruthlessness of the era. This show should be mandatory viewing for any aspiring Pussycat Doll who thinks she's not teetering on the shoulders of feminist giants in those skintight ass pants. "Gee, that unseemly, shrill feminist attitude sure came in handy back in the day, when we were all treated like lobotomized infants!"<

    It should be also be required for the new crop of wifey/moos who swear up and down that marriage/kids makes them more complete and happier than when they were "selfish career women"--and who act as if their McMansion lives will stay perfect the more they act like uber wifey/moos.
