Process. Not result.

I will.

The movie was a piece of ■■■■■

The book was much better.

At least you’re thinking bigger than they are.

Handmaid tale is about the complete removal of female freedom via radical christianity its very upfront about that.

but it also deal with religious fascism and authoritarianism, but the main point of the series is about the struggle of female control over their own destiny and male historical need to control them. it was written as a counter to abortion debate and growth of religious fundamentalism in North America.

Mostly because the movie ignore the whole point of the book.

We are ending the abuse of the unessential.

If Walmart can be open then so can hair salons and gyms.

If you are afraid of getting the virus stay in…Why insist others should unless you are a liberty hating control freak?

Anti Liberty…To sum it up.

I mean if you never read the book.

Is it? Again, Process, not Result.

The same exact things that are happening now happened after 9-11. That time it was mostly republicans.

maybe you should read the book.

I already said I will. Are you under the impression this thread is about “the book”?

I know I found them online somewhere. If I can find the links again I’ll let you know.
