Okay, I never read the Handmaid's Tale, and so my understanding of it is second and third hand. But from what I understand, women are severely oppressed, treated as second-class citizens, and not even permitted to read. Or so wikipedia tells me.

The Handmaid's Tale was written in 1985, a relic of the Reagan era, and imagines a future where Moral Majority, 700 Club, Pat Robertson, Jimmy Swaggart, Jerry Falwell types of Christians are in charge and have implemented the type of Bible-based theocracy that liberals all throughout the 1980s predicted would happen.

Watching the show today the whole premise now seems laughably preposterous and dated.

This future does exist today in places like Saudi Arabia and Iran but fans of the book get angry when you make this comparison.

So people have actually noticed that today’s Muslim culture actually does what the liberals project and pretend a Christian culture might do in their fantasies?
