Has that book officially replaced harry potter as the thing privileged white girls quote incessantly?
I doubt many actually read it, outside maybe a school assignment. People did read harry potter.
Sure but I thought it was widely assigned in skrewel?
But how many actually read it?
IDK I think I read it but I don't remember it. A lot of school fiction books went in one ear and out the other like that (in one eye and out the other?). I guess there wasn't anything useful to learn from those books. Cuz I have no trouble remembering the facts I learned in school.
Like I've read several Shakespeare plays, supposedly, but if you asked me to name a minor character I probably couldn't.
I was never assigned that shit but I actually had a good education
Yeah, it's a lie of female oppression written by a male genocide advocate. Of course they love it.
Comment Reported for: Rule 16 - Identity Attacks
Comment Approved: I think it's close with he last sentence, but I don't think it crosses the line.
No, they've never read it, and most of them haven't seen the series either. The most glaring error they make is that the characters in the Handmaid's Tale would be horrified by abortion -- not just the rulers, but the handmaids and other oppressed women as well. The setup is that (before Gilead took over) something has caused fertility to drop precipitously; people are desperate for babies.
oh really? maybe I'll pick it up then. That sounds genuinely interesting.
I… Wouldn’t recommend that. Sure, it’s politically interesting, and knowing your enemy IS useful, but seriously, I… Would recommend against that, lol.
Go for The Name of the Rose instead. 👌
It was rather more empowering to useless cunts who have no real purpose or drive in life to think an entire society would revolve around them based upon the fact their womb is still show-room new thanks to no one ever putting their dick near it. It's a whole lot better than realizing the only people who would fuck a pig would rather fuck the real thing.
