How many seasons have we waited for this to finally happen?
“He can’t fix his own sink, can’t pick up pretty young girls, can’t even beat up Lane (although he can call him “Mr. Toad”), and nobody steps in to help him out because they’d all like to see him hurt. All he can do is pay hookers to treat him the way he feels he deserves, and even that can’t save him from the way he feels watching “Handsome” finger his driver’s ed crush. When he finally gets to laugh with the boys at Lane’s horror about the hooker getting bubble gum on Jaguar’s “pubis,” he can’t help but take it too far and call Lane “a homo.”
“So it seems time to pronounce a rule about American popular culture: the Golden Forty-Year Rule. The prime site of nostalgia is always whatever happened, or is thought to have happened, in the decade between forty and fifty years past… And so, if we can hang on, it will be in the twenty-fifties that the manners and meanings of the Obama era will be truly revealed: only then will we know our own essence. A small, attentive child, in a stroller on some Brooklyn playground or Minneapolis street, is already recording the stray images and sounds of this era: Michelle’s upper arms, the baritone crooning sound of NPR, people sipping lattes (which a later decade will know as poison) at 10 A.M.—manners as strange and beautiful as smoking in restaurants and drinking Scotch at 3 P.M. seem to us. A series or a movie must already be simmering in her head, with its characters showing off their iPads and staring at their flat screens: absurdly antiquated and dated, they will seem, but so touching in their aspiration to the absolutely modern. Forty years from now, we’ll know, at last, how we looked and sounded and made love, and who we really were.”

“This scene, which wouldn’t have happened if Dawn and Peggy weren’t frightened of physical violence at the hands of men, ties the Richard Speck material and the extended fever-dream sequences with Don and Andrea. Both are aspects of the show’s ongoing fascination with sexism, and more specifically with men’s sexual and economic fear of assertive women. Just as Pete and other agency employees were inordinately scared of Peggy — and until recently tried to keep her in “her place” with locker-room banter and posturing — a lot of the show’s male characters have periodically used sexual violence to terrorize and break sexually assertive women.”
