    Oh no. My friend & I were planning to wear these Handmaid’s Tale costumes for Halloween episode of @Femsplainers⁩ — but costume company ⁦@Yandy⁩ took them off the market because of Twitter scolds. Please bring back the slinky Handmaid outfits! Why limit our choices?pic.twitter.com/7JwEkbrLKS

        I fully support Dr @CHSommers in this matter. Anyone who disagrees is complicit in patriarchal stealth-violence. Plus, I wanna see the pictures from that party.

        Really? Twitter World Reactionaries don't allow Handmaid's Tale Costuming? Too many Handmaidens have objected? What would we do without Twitter's Everpresent PC Governance of our lives? Now I know exactly what I will be wearing when I go Twick or Tweeting with the kids.

        Now I get it. The costumes are not historically accurate and have been culturally appropriated. No??

        Ummm It's the absence of "affirmative consent" and the presence of an oppressive 'power imbalance'. Thus these costumes are "inappropriate" because they could hurt/minimize the feelings of, and/or traumatize, the fictional characters who have no recourse for defense. ??

        Bah!! It's just a spelling error! The label was supposed to say "Handmade by Tailors" Sigh.

        Oooooh !? I have been so so wrong. These are the Sacred Garments of the Highest 'AlwaysBelieve' Priestesses which can onle be worn for & during the Secret Sexual Assault Allegation Ceremonies, when the Rightly or Falsely Accused is Sacrificed for the Good of All. Amen.

        It's really unfortunate. Gilead would HATE these outfits because the handmaid's uniforms are meant to eliminate any form of sex appeal. This spits in the face of modesty culture. I wanted to dress like this, too...

        That was my thought. Looks like its taking ownership of the costume and turning it on its head to own the patriarchy.

        So, fine with sexy everything else but literally if a leftist is upset at "their" show being depicted it gets removed. The site literally has sexy nun, nurse, officer...etc. #HandmaidsTale fans are a protected class 🤣😂 The left is nuts.

        Side note: The costume is just a red dress, cape, and cap, You can make this very easily. Still I understand it's the principle of the removal.
