Re: The Most Feminist Episode Yet

Kent, you should write for The Onion. You are kidding, right?

Everything Don/Dick did was hurtful, illegal, fraudulent and self-centered.

1. Messing up Army Acounting? That's rich. He deserted through fraud. He assumed the identity of an Officer killed in action, so he could save his own hide.

2. He committed fraud when he accepted the pay and privledges that rightfully belonged to the widow of CPT Drapper. He probably also cashed in on the veterens benefits that he did not earn, as he did not complete his service. How do you believe he afforded night school.

3. He totally screwed over the real Mrs Drapper. She was left thinking her husband abandoned her, when he was in fact killed in action. Granted, in the fictional story, she forgives the DICK, but I can't imagine that happening in real like. Of course, the idea that he could have pulled off the switch-er-roo on the Army in the first place. Two privates, perhaps. But to believe no other Officer in Korea knew what the real Drapper looked like requires a huge suspension of disbelief.

4. He lies his ass off to his new wife, dragging her into his fraud. Everything about her life is built on a foundation of lies and deceit. Ditto for the kids.

5. Then he cheats on her every chance he gets, bringing his latest girlfriend practically to his front door. Oh, yes, he also hides marital assets from her as well.

Don is a first rate Dick. He lays his little tale of woe at her feet, and she pats him on the back. What a feminist.
