Also, I don't think this show has ever been concerned with asking us to "like" anybody. You see Peggy as [apparently well-meaning use of every term ever used to diminish a woman with ambition], while I see her as a generally awesome person who I want to root for but who gets in her own way...but that difference isn't as important as the causes/pressures that lead her to be who she is. I think those things are the same, even if we have differing views on how likable she is.

I use militant in any number of settings. It's my extreme form of 'obstinate'. Militantly ignorant is probably my favorite usage of same. By all means, look it up - your desire to lug a cross on your back is not going to be a concern of mine in my word usage.
And is Peggy
not uptight?
Peggy is an obstinately unhappy, restive asshole. Am I getting closer to verbiage that you find acceptable given Peggy's anatomy?
Jesus.
