Honestly, I feel like too much fiction distorts people's ability to reason about the real world. Sure, normal people are okay, but go to r/witchesvspatriarchy on Reddit and see just how far gone some people are...
That book was TERRIBLE. It is fucking awful. I was forced to read it for some class ages ago. It was part of a series on dystopian novels. Even the liberals in the class were bored by it (it wasn't part of their gospel at the time ... This was over 25 years ago).
First two seasons of the TV series were OK. I don't know how it has managed to hang on for 4. TDS escapism probably.
Now it's a boogeyman myth to scare irreligious low-IQ young women. Atwood got the costumes and the language wrong. Even when this book was written in 1985 it was dead-on about the treatment of women under Islam in the Middle East.
I was first roughly made aware of this author through my university's assigned reading of 'Oryx and Crake', a dystopian story.
It's been a couple of years since I read it, but I remember that at first I enjoyed it since the genre really interests me. Also at the time, as someone pretty ignorant about politics/idealogies, I didn't notice any misandry, or pro-communist message. Then again, I may have not paid close attention as I should've. Basically I thought it was just another fiction book, so it was strange in the process of being redpilled to see just who this author really was the whole time. Really irritating, yet expected, how all this garbage is pumped into the minds of the youth.
It's also FICTION.
Sort of like HARRY FUCKING POTTER that they love to equate to reality so much without realizing they are the Death Eaters...

They're watching "Hocus Pocus" on repeat and bashing all the male characters? Lol
No, really? I never would have guessed that someone who writes about women's oppression constantly would actually be projecting.
You spelled "Communist Unamerican Never Trumper" wrong.

You spelled "Canadian" wrong.

I think Andrew Klavan said it best, when someone was explaining to him the concept of the show:
"...This is supposed to be a dystopia?"
She looks like a less-pretty Eric Idle....
