    i"m always amazed by people who think @MargaretAtwood's Handmaid's Tale is implausible. As if such societies don't actually exist.

        @HeerJeet IIRC @MargaretAtwood based Gilead on Iran, Religious Rightists whose theology she took 2 logical conclusions, Junta era Argentia.

        @HeerJeet @MargaretAtwood still can't square the appendix with my longstanding belief in historical empathy. Unsettling in the best of ways.

        @HeerJeet @MargaretAtwood what's scarier is how easy it is for women to lose rights they've gained. I've seen pics of Egyptian women in '50s
