Liberals believe make believe TV shows are real.
Oh but dressing up like a TV character is sooo much fun. Little minds are easily entertained.
Yep, time to switch to burqas.
“Handmaids in Atwood’s universe, for example, are only allowed to have sex when they’re being forced to by their masters, whose children they’re then supposed to carry. Here, in real America, women can have sex with more or less whomever they want — or not — and the restrictions cover only what happens next, which is exactly what Republicans eager for harsher rules seize on to argue that it’s ridiculous to suggest women can’t “choose.”
Maybe the point of the protests is that limiting reproductive freedom necessarily ends up limiting sexual freedom by pushing women toward abstinence, so the right to choose in one area isn’t worth much without the right to choose in the other. (Incidentally, that’s what made actress Alyssa Milano’s proposed “sex strike” so absurdly counterproductive.) But a cape and a bonnet will have trouble making that case without some help.”

THIS AUTHOR GETS IT!!
I thought they were displays for ketchup.
You know.....like the guy on the street corner wearing the chicken suit to advertise for a restaurant.
Those costumes made people feel alright...
...it made them feel that the pro-abortion side is a bunch of drama-queen nitwits that would rather sew together and wear a ridiculous outfit...
...than actually look at the horrible truth of abortion.
“Handmaid’s Tale” is faker than plain fiction - it’s idiotic nonsense. When I see some activist wearing the costume to me they are saying “I’m here to represent the idiotic nonsensical view.”
LOL They fret over this yet turn their backs to womens horrible real-world treatment under Islam.
Such as--
For adultery: Literally buried in holes up to their arms (with their arms down so they're buried too) and hit with big rocks by bearded, angry men until they're dead.
Forced to cover their bodies and faces with robes and veils or at least their hair with scarves. Whether they want to or not.
Can be beaten, even to death, by their husbands, for whatever reason he decides.
And these are the GOOD Muslim countries!
In Taliban Afghanistan, or Saudi Arabia, even killed for working or driving a car.
Question for Atwood fans...
Do you think Islamic women in Islamic countries can legally get an abortion? LOL!
That’d be a great Burning Man alternative — light up a Handmaid!
Funny how the liberals overlook the fact that the original novel was about an Islamic leadership.
I am getting tired of people quoting that stupid book/movie as if it was a &^%$#@! documentary!!!!!
The Handmaid’s Tale vs modern reality of tattoos, obesity, STD’s, riding the c__k carousel, gallons of wine and Xanax from 35 on, lots of cats and no children, but a great career of sitting in a cubical entering data into a spreadsheet all day. I hope they keep doing the Handmaid’s bit. It’s hilarious.
It has the same impact as chanting, “Hey hey, Ho ho, some feigned outrage has to go!”
I’ll never understand the mind of a far-Left Liberal woman.
How can you be pro-murder of un-or-just-born babies, but then try to PROTECT the lives of criminal illegal aliens and those who have TAKEN a life (or two, or more!) on Death Row?
A similar novel, and a movie made from it, “The World According to Garp”, has a theme similar to the Handmaidens with a cult called the “Ellen Jamesians”.
Garp, born out of wedlock to Jenny, a World War II nurse that took care of seriously wounded veterans returned from the front, was coming of age with a seriously strained relationship with his mother. Garp is attempting to become a writer, but has had only modest success.
Jenny’s life is pretty different now, to say the least. She had submitted her story to John Wolf, who was shocked to realize that he had a bona fide bestseller on his hands. Jenny’s mother passes away. This causes her to act a little strange: She now surrounds herself with an entourage of her female supporters. One day, Jenny shows up at Garp’s apartment with a tough-looking but completely silent woman. Garp tries to coax her into talking, but Jenny explains that the woman doesn’t have a tongue. It turns out that the woman is a member of the “Ellen Jamesian” movement, founded in honor of Ellen James, an eleven year-old girl whose tongue was cut out by her rapists. Disgruntled women formed the Ellen James Society, each member cutting their own tongue out as a symbolic gesture. Ellen Jamesians communicate exclusively through notes, which Garp finds very disconcerting.
A very riveting story, to say the least.
Were pushing a lie - but is there any consequence for that?
Even as it celebrates the hijab and the burka, the left derides IMAGINARY Christian women wearing male-mandated clothing with a similar purpose - modesty and submission.
