FULL TITLE: Protesters dressed as oppressed women from the Handmaid's Tale take to the streets of Philadelphia to protest against 'anti-women' Mike Pence

Dozens of demonstrators dressed as characters from the novel-turned-TV series 'The Handmaid's Tale' descended on downtown Philadelphia on Monday to protest Vice President Mike Pence's visit.

They wore red cloaks and white bonnets and chanted 'this nightmare must end.'

'The Handmaid's Tale' imagines a future in which women's rights have been stripped away. Protesters said they are opposed to Trump administration policies on abortion rights, LGBT rights, immigration and other issues.

Pence spoke in the afternoon at an event promoting the administration's tax-cutting law. He was later headlining a fundraiser for Rep. Lou Barletta, who is seeking to unseat Democratic U.S. Sen. Bob Casey.

They complain about Trump being “uncivil”, all the while engaging in slanders like this.

Not long ago, I went on a first date with an utter lunatic woman who asked me if I watched that show and talked for 45 minutes about how it wouldn’t be long before our country was like that. She gave no indication of this insanity in prior conversations.

“Not long ago, I went on a first date with an utter lunatic woman”

How was the second date and where did she fall on the crazy/hot scale?

I’ve been watching it too. Only because I know the younger generation thinks (or will think) Christians are really like this. It’s meant to slam Evangelical Christians.

It’s really talking about Islam and you should have told her this!

I could have talked to her about the show trouble is she would not have believed a word I said until it was too late.

Better this than assaulting people in the streets for wearing the wrong hats. Better this show than burning crap down.

You sat there and let this lunatic prattle on about that anti-Christian propaganda for 45 minutes ? Are you some sort of masochist ? I’d have lasted 45 seconds before telling her I had an appointment at home to clean my toilet with my tongue.

No second date after that. She didn’t even get to the Fun Zone after that nonsense.

I failed miserably as soon as I asked her what rights she had lost so far.

I’ve never seen it and, as such, had no clue what she was talking about.

45 minutes?

You should have just whipped it out, she either would have A) left in disgust (a win for you) or B) gave you a beej and peace and quiet for a 10 minutes (a win for you)
