There are several things I think are funny about how leftoids always bring this up.
The first one is the most obvious, that they're just accusing Christians of wanting to treat women how mohammandans already do treat women.
The second one is that that book honestly sucks, most people praising it haven't tried to read it. I've read most of it and it's Twilight tier trash. You've heard of historical fiction? This is hysterical fiction.
Third that it accidentally lets the mask slip. They'd spitefully destroy the human species rather than accept that so called women's rights, by which they mean the power to live a parasitic existence free of responsibility, shouldn't exist. They literally think they can hold our very species hostage in exchange for unearned, unjustified, tyrannical privileges.
The attitude behind the book fully justifies the actions of the society within it. And much more besides.
Even for fiction lauded by leftoids it's incredibly lacking in self awareness. In that regard the only comparable piece of fiction I can compare it to is V for Vendetta, written by a whiny child of a man who fully believed that living under Thatcher's government was the height of authoritarianism.
Having not read it, I don't know how accurate this factoid is, but there's also the suggestion that it's a barely disguised rape/subjugation fetish for horny women, who want to flick themselves off to a scenario from an erotica novel dressed up as feminist moralising.
I've noticed this tends to be true of any fiction set in a disaster scenario or near/post-apocalypse. Whenever there is a dire set of circumstances facing a set of characters, or even an entire species, if the solution to the scenario involves trampling women's rights - or even one female character's rights - then writers will immediately swing all narrative sympathy towards the oppressed woman rather than the group. If you are, as we say, 'based and also redpilled' then it's easy to see the seams and limits of feminist ideology, but normalfag simps and feminists are fundamentally incapable of writing from the perspective of men facing existential doom, when there is some crying pussy around.
I would not at all be surprised to learn that Margaret Atwood actually fantasized about being held down, raped & impregnated by Ronald Reagan the whole time she was writing Handmaid's Tale (one-handed of course).
Or Trump for that matter.
Remember how histrionic some wahmen got, making slogans like "this pussy grabs back?" When the grab them by the pussy comment was ironically about how dumb women are towards someone with money and fame they let you do anything. Not about putting them in breeding camps, kinda weird how they assumed that's what he meant
