tv time is an app where you can put all the shows you're watching and have watched. You can follow both Milena and Lola if you want, their usernames are under their ytb video in the description

2025-07-03 18:41:38 +0000 UTCOne of the aspects of masculinity/toxic masculinity brought up in the show so far but not necessarily in the discussions has been the generational conflicts. Specifically, and in order from ‘eldest to youngest’ in the hierarchy- Bert Cooper > Roger > Don > Pete. Couple episodes ago Roger gave the speech to Don about how he’s bothered by Pete because he’s ‘competing’ with him, ‘not on a personal level, but for the world.’ This kind of thinking seems to colour a lot of Roger’s interactions - whether it be being emasculated by Don in the bar, him and Bert making fun of / scolding the younger men in the Nixon meeting when talking about Kennedy (and even Kennedy himself, he doesn’t even wear a hat!). In this episode we also had Bert chastising Roger for smoking as a sign of weakness. This also comes up whenever they talk about the wars. Each of them, Roger, Don and Pete either fought in different wars or didn’t fight at all, and they all think lesser of the others for it. Roger shows disdain when Betty says that Don doesn’t talk about ‘The War’ because how dare he say Korea is ‘The War’, his war, world war 2, was much more important! (“You guys took most of the glory.”) And yet even then, Roger still feels lesser than his dad for having fought in a ‘real’ war in the trenches in WW1. (“He always had that over me.”) This doesn’t even begin to get into how both Roger and Don feel about Pete’s generation for not even fighting at all. Roger physically bristled when he gave Pete the speech about how Don is his ‘commanding officer’ and Pete responded by saying ‘I won’t let you down!’, as if that’s just never what someone would say if they had any sense or experience.
