The hand maids tale

lol no it doesn't the west will never move back to a hardcore patriarchy 

 

it was written by a white feminist as a dystopian fantasy about what it would be like for the western world to go back to a hardcore patriarchy 

 

 

its shot well and the costuming is brilliant but the show is boring

Actually it does refelct our times with the creep of the removal of our freedoms in the name of terrorism

And it does reflect our times in that fertility in the west is a massive issue. Millions spent on ivf, women payin for children from developin countries. The book was written at a time before these things were so prevalent. 

Further the hard core patriarchal society. Look at who is runnin the white house. Man talkin about grabbin women in the p*ssy an there are women defendin him over that

Add to that the upsurge in right wing conservative family values across the west...which put women on a traditional back foot

Might not be hard core now but its certainly patriarchal an maybe what happened in the show wont exactly happen here but its not a far out  "fantasy". Might not be the subjugation of women in the end but it could easily be another weak group 

Open your eyes.

trump isnt gonna do shit, fertility is down because western educated women have children later in life causing fertility problems and thats  product of modernity

 

politics dont work like that trump aint gonna do shit but try to slow the decline of the U>S>A by cutting gov spending and addressing the deficit

you think he'll be allowed to go totally crazy 

 

there is a right wing drift, doesn't mean it'll end in a hardcore patriarchy

not that i agree or diagree with your point, but this is a dumb statement.  populists are always brushed off as wont do shit, same with Duertete, it's always a joke until it isnt anymore

You being obtuse and this is what the problem is. Trump ain gna do shit? Hes a sign of the times whatever he does or doesnt do. He paves the way for more like him and worse because we become numb to these people.

You think he'll be allowed to go crazy? Are you alright? Probably the same person who said they will never let him in the white house. Hed already crazy hes already makin crazy dangerous political moves. He fired the head of fhe fbi because he was being investigated by him.

He talks the worst smack about women an is known to fraternise with a known pedo AND has a creepy diagustin sinister relationship with his daughter an the whole world looks past it. What else will the world let slide? "Long as im alright " right?

 

Wake the eff up. Its about awareness...not being naive....you keep thinkin life gna stay the same til u wake up one day an realise things have been slowly gettin worse

 

The west uses mercenary private armies to fight wars. What about when a leader wants to use that better equipped better funded private army on the public. In the days of king u had to raise an army to  challenge the current leadership. That can be done now

Our rights in england are slowly being taken away. U have to now pay to go employment tribunal, pay to fight in family courts, which means justice is not currently for the poor. Immigration - the government now reinterprets human rights LAW to fit their own purpose. The courts have changed so the first point of appeal is a court whos is not in reality independent of the government. Not to mention the snoopin laws etc. Its all for our own good until it starts happening. The point im makin is that the show isnt jus indicative of what we could allow to happen to women but what could happen to any group

Martial law and regime change an the loss of our freedoms is a gradual thing...no response to that point is there?

Birth rates have gone down due to people havin children later in life. Fertility has gone down due to lifestyle an environment. 

 

You kno what stay in yr bubble. I kno its more comfortable. Always nicer to feel safe an secure...its a basic human need afterall
