OK OK but Here Are 5 Things the Society in the Handmaid’s Tale Got Right

Look, I’m not defending it by any means. The way society in The Handmaid’s Tale treats women is deplorable and inexcusable. I’m JUST SAYING there were some things they did RIGHT, OK? OK.

Significant Reduction in Greenhouse Gases

Any society this efficient must be doing something right. Right?? Look, my sociology professor told me to watch this after I tried to red pill my class. She said I needed to educate myself. Pretty sure I did.
