This show continually reinforces the idea that climbing the ladder, as a woman, tend to harden you because of all the sexist shit you have to endure.

My main issue with both Peggy and Joan (and I'm playing off memory here because I haven't gone back and rewatched all the seasons) is that they both showed a remarkable lack of loyalty toward Don. That being said, I'm not sure that Don is really worthy of that much loyalty, and I think it's also meant to emphasize that a woman has to be double Machiavellian to succeed in this world... but that just made me dislike both of them at certain points in the series.
That being said, I generally like both of the characters now. I just remember being pissed at them a couple of times.
