Description

S2E3: a character forces himself onto a woman. This is quite complicated, however, as the forcefulness is something the woman ostensibly enjoys. S2E12: a man rapes another character. S3E4: when a character discusses moving to Manhatten with her mother, she tells her that 'you'll get raped. You know that.' S3E8: Pete Campbell forces himself on the neighbour's au pair - she doesn't want to sleep with him and says no but he blackmails her because he had saved her from getting in trouble. The assault starts on screen but most of it happens off screen. S4E2: a joke is made about the government 'raping our wives'. S4E8: a character is accused of 'walking around and trying to get raped.' S6E1: a character makes a joke to her husband about him raping a teenager while she holds her down to 'spice things up.' S6E8: a woman engages in sexual activity with a young boy (a minor) despite his unwillingness to participate. The show explores gender roles at great length. As a result, sexual harassment (often based in the workplace) is frequently depicted on-screen, much of which is physical.
