Susan Jacoby wrote an editorial for the New York Times in which she pointed out the falsehood of the television series Mad Men. The show, now in its sixth season, covers the time period from 1960 to 1967. In the show, the admen of Madison Avenue have enough money to spend lavishly on their wives and mistresses. That may be how it is for the show's characters, but it was not true for Jacoby's father and most men in the United States. With wives still unable to secure meaningful work, most men were the primary providers for their families.
