Betty Draper, Joan Holloway, Peggy Olson, and Megan Draper (Mad Men)
It would be practically unheard of for an American woman in the 1960's to not get her son circumcised. It wouldn't even be something to think about, at most they would be handed a sheet of paper at the hospital and told to "sign here in case it's a boy."
Would She Snip?: Yes, yes, yes, yes

Megan Calvet, formerly Draper, meets Brooks Hargrove shortly after coming back to New York. Hargrove, at the time, was in the middle of his divorce with Roger’s daughter, Margaret, who up and left her family to live in a hippie commune.
Only a couple of years fresh off her marriage with Don, Megan and Brooks initially bond over the parallels in their respective divorces. Megan finds Brooks’ stability attractive and a breath of fresh air after the bad crowd she left behind in LA. Brooks, in turn, loves how attentive she is to his son, Ellery.
Their friendship soon turns romantic, with her now stepfather Roger giving his blessing in spite of (or perhaps because of) the circumstances.
Megan and Brooks married shortly after the highly publicized custody battle was resolved, with Ellery being legally adopted by Megan. The couple would go on to have three beautiful daughters, and are married to this day.
Megan is famously tight-lipped about her first husband, even after his death. Though she has stayed on good terms with her former stepdaughter, Sally.
“He was a troubled man, and I wasn’t part of the last thirty years of his life.”
