Hey, it's today!
Happy women's day!
Yay!
It's not different from any other day, really. It's just a time when we speak up and, these days binge-watching Madmen I've been all about 'girl power'.
Season 3 is a lot more sedated (or I am the one sedated) but still it's hard to see women so abused by society and womanizers in general.
There are a few great moments like this one, season 2, ep 5 when an older woman gives a great advice, I mean, GREAT STUFF!
It's a side character healing from a car accident hidden in Peggy's flat (she has to hide from her husband hired by Draper with whom she was having an affair) and before leaving, Bobbi and Peggy have this conversation:
I like this particular scene because it's like seeing inside her soul. She does have power over men, doesn't she? doesn't her jerk of a husband and Draper super jerk end up doing what she wants? |
Peggy's Brooklin flat, morning.
Peggy: 'You can use the mirror in the bedroom.'
Bobbi: 'No. Part of the process of learning to live without your hospitality.'
'It's nothing.'
'Not true. I was curious if you're aware of the value of your service.' (She's referring to the fact that being Peggy Draper's employee, she's doing him a huge favor hiding his mistress.)
'It's what you're supposed to do, isn't it?
'Wouldn't say that. People will take advantage of you.'
'I know what I'm doing.'
'What do you want? Are you just some busy little bee building a hive out in Brooklyn?
'Are you still trying to say thank you?'
(Pay attention, this is where it gets bad ass good:)
'You have to start living the life of the person you want to be.'
'Is that what you did?'
'You're never going to get that corner office until you start treating Don as an equal. And no one will tell you this, but you can't be a man. Don't even try.'
'I think so.' (First time Peggy lowers her walls against the woman.)
'So, how do I get to Grand Central from here, steam ship?'
'I can walk you to the train. It's two blocks over'
'I'll call a car.'

'Be a woman.
It's powerful business when done correctly.
Do you understand what I'm saying, dear?'

a POWERFUL BUSINESS WHEN DONE CORRECTLY. Being a strong self-assured woman is bad ass difficult shit! |
Thanks Springfieldspringfrield for the script.
And thank you Bobbi Barrett for giving me hope this tv show will live up to all that is about it.
Tonight I'll start posting my second Regency lovestory, a tale of a strong woman facing the difficult situation of falling in love with a great man when her life is past the need for him. (kind of a Regency fairy tale if you wish.'
See ya!
