How is this series shaping up? The reviews seem good and the

I decided to skip it because I'm pretty fucking sure it's filled with men are evil feminist bullshit.

>Set in a near-future New England, in a totalitarian theocracy that has overthrown the United States government, the novel explores themes of women in subjugation and the various means by which they gain individualism and independence

Why are women so fucking dumb? FIrst they bring muslims in and then complain that they errect a muslim theocratic shariah govt

I've heard it's been pretty faithful to the book, with a few minor adjustments.

It's fucking crap

>Women enjoy greater freedoms and rights in 2017 than at any other point in human history
>Every cocksucking critic refers to the series as "timely" and "cautionary"

Every "critic" who is only to pretending to have read and understood novel.
Its a filter for the intellectually lazy really.

Its actually a critique (from 86) of the kind of shallow agenda-driven feminism that you'd recognise today as 'social justice'.

If they stay accurate to the novel we'll see more and more REEEEEEing on Twitter about this.

Is Elizabeth Moss redpilled? She said it's not a feminist story (and then had to apologize for it).

Its feminist in that its about feminism.
It is isn't crude advocacy though.

Its about the dangers of allying with religious groups around agendas (as the progressives are currently doing I would say) and the importance of liberalism to feminism (as opposed to banning things).

So they 'took back the night', they 'desexualised society' and banned pornography. Offred's mother goes to book burning events for example and in the book that is where we first meet her.

The cause of the dystopia is along the lines of you - you got what you said you wanted when you empowered these people, how is it working out for you?

But, tbqh, more than that its a novel, not a piece of propaganda.
