The world is filled with Pete Campbells – people whose wealthy families and social connections allow them to coast through life, easily opening doors that are locked tight for the rest of us.

On this week's Gender Trap, Yasmin Nair and I talk about Episode 4 of Mad Men ("New Amsterdam"), in which we are forced to come to terms with the archetypal privileged son, and see him as but one part of a marvelous, odious machine that traps us all. Can we learn to love Pete Campbell?
