[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Class actually plays a huge part in why the Mad Men marry the women they do or treat women the way they do.

Joan is stunningly beautiful and intelligent but it’s obvious she has a working class background and is not educated. Upper class and upper middle class men admire her looks and have no problem sleeping with her and dating her but are not interested in making her their wife.

The closest she gets is with Roger but he is did not want to leave Mona for her. Later on he asks her to be with him but at that point Joan is not interested.

Betty is upper class and has her pick of upper class men wanting to wife her up. Don selected her as his wife as she elevated his status as an Ad executive. She is beautiful, educated and refined. Later on even her very large pregnancy bump doesn’t detract from Henry Francis eying her and then marrying her. Henry is posh and rich and Betty is just the kind of women he wants to be married to.

Megan is upper middle class with an academic for a father and an artist for a mother. She is well educated, speaks French and has a bohemian and artistic streak. Don marries her because she is sophisticated, beautiful and amazing with his kids.  She is not a downgrade from Betty!
