RE: The Handmaid's Tale of Propaganda

I think thats also dangerous talk, with all due respect, and a sweeping generalisation. Its just as important to fight for womens rights as ever - consider the breastfeeding debacle in America, for example. There is no way that equality has been achieved between the sexes and woman are STILL paid less than men and suffer from domestic violence and rape just as they ever have. Undermining this with a sweeping comment that 'some' feminists seek to remove the place of men in the home is just looking at one small part of a big and ongoing fight for womans rights. Stories such as this make people uncomfortable because its not so far from the truth. Thats what dystopuan fiction does.. takes the flaws in our worlds and magnifies them. In that way, of course it has an agenda - and why shouldnt it? Just as Sense8 had an agenda.
