    Peggy today, at least in that scene, would be a woke progressive snowflake activist in today's world

    Again, Joan thinks she's being helpful, as in the past. But unfortunately she's not. If having the power and actions to ask for respect makes you a humorless b, be it.

    Joan is not wrong about the optics of being a woman in the workplace at the time. You're either "one of the guys" and have to ignore the frat boy chatter or you have to be the humorless bitch who shuts down "the fun". It's hard to win when the status quo remains a boys club. In today's world, Joan should never have had to put up with that but in the 60s, her best option was to discretely remove Joey from the picture. Peggy is correct in theory but in execution, her action made everyone lose face.

    it clearly shows Peggy was wrong. she went over the top just to show she was a good little girl. as the experienced person having dealt with things like these many times, Joan understand office politics more than anybody else. she already dealt with the situation.

    I'd like to speak in defense of Peggy. She did what a professional would do- she was direct, she was honest and above-board about the fact that she fired that guy and why she did so. Peggy may have produced a similar result via backchannels, but ultimately it would be feeding into the relentless condescension that defined the relationship between the men who ran Sterling Cooper Price and the women who... didn't run it, nor have any realistic chance of doing so. Joan was the leader of the women within SCDP, and that was it until Peggy came along. It took Peggy and her true professionalism to open the door to women becoming leaders in the profession.

    It angers me how the dynamics for us women still havnt deviated much esp in the office environment. She is right men still talk down, make crude jokes and draw shameful comparisons with cartoons or anima to put women in their place. I once had a boss tell me , no one likes a smart mouth on a women who can carry her own luggage up the stairs all because I corrected him when he blamed me for not doing his favorite minions aka my colleagues work for him so he could meet "HIS" dead line. I realized I couldnt5 work around sexist people who didnt know that gender has no role in a work place no matter how good I was at my job I could never win around old powerful men playing favorites and looking down at us like we were just there for their amusement. Joan thanks for the reminder.

    This is a cruel character who seems to relish inflicting pain. Not my fav at all. Joan seems to be pissed that Peggy doesn't do things the way Joan would do them but of course Joan only "shows" her playbook after the fact. Classic manipulator.

    Perhaps I'm being too analytical, but I've noticed on the show that those in her age group and especially the older men fancied Joan, but it seems that the super young ones (those born after 1940) weren't exactly drooling over her.

    I loved this series, but I never liked the character Joan. I felt sorry for her at times. Particularly, at the end of the series where she is cheated out of the value of her ownership interest by McGann. However, it always struck me that no one could make her happy and no one was good enough for her. Peggy was obviously ambitious, but she did little to hurt Joan. Her firing of Joey was justified and was well intentioned on her part. Maybe I just don't give Joan enough credit, but the character was basically unlikeable.
