> [@lindsaybluth](#): > > Love love love Mad Men. People who claim it’s sexist obviously have no concept of history and/or period pieces. It’s like saying the Tudors is sexist. Frankly, I’m not in love with any of the male characters, but John Slattery’s acting is in a league of its own. January Jones is unfairly deemed a terrible actress, but I think her iciness is hard to replicate consistently, which she does without fail. My mom, who is currently addicted to Deadwood, is this way. She had heard it was great, I told her it was great, but she also heard that it is horrible about it’s treatment of women. Gee Mom, 90% of the women in the series are prostitutes, so what do you expect? She got over it though she still shakes her head at how badly the women are treated - guess the dead men being fed to the pigs is okay:smack: --- _[View the full topic](https://boards.straightdope.com/t/do-women-like-mad-men/543781)._
