Atwood based the society in the book on post revolutionary Iran. I think it’s extremely dishonest that’s she’s allowed everyone to run with the idea that it was actually based on the totes real possibility that we’re going to be living under christofascism yall.When you actually think about it, handmaid’s tale is just a very thinly veiled kink novel presented as a dystopia. The author just made a novel about her disgusting forced breeding fantasy and then tried to pass it off as a book promoting the incredibly controversial, stunning, and brave ideas like “rape is bad”, “we shouldn’t treat women like property”
