Stop it! Please stop making excuses for Joan. Pete and the others didn't "push" her into sleeping with the Jaguar executive. She made the conscious decision to do so, once the SCDP partners made it worth her while . . . namely a piece of the company pie.<br /><br />Why is it that every time Joan does something questionable or makes a bad decision, fans make excuses for her? They did so when she insulted Paul Kinsey's black girlfriend, Sheila White. They did so when she went ahead and married Greg, after he had raped her. They did so when she committed an act of spousal abuse when she struck Greg over the head with a vase out of frustration and anger. They did so when she decided to have Roger Sterling's baby and pass it off as Greg's. And now this.<br /><br />Please stop. Joan is about as far from perfect as the other characters. Can you accept this and stop trying to make excuses for her mistakes?RosiePhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11217705824689269830noreply@blogger.com
