One Bored Mother
Dear mad men fandom, five invalid reasons for hating betty draper

I guess I’m one of the few women that get the Betty Draper.  I actually empathize with the character.  I do not believe we cannot hold a sixties housewife to our 21st century standards.

I think her plight particularly stands out to me because I just recently left a religious sect that was still stuck in the sixties concerning the rights and the treatment of women.  It feels painfully real to me at times.
