On the upside, that hat offers GREAT sun protection.
Margaret Atwood once said she based everything in The Handmaid’s Tale on something that really happened, and this claim of verisimilitude seems to be the guiding principle behind Hulu’s new adaptation of her sacred text.
It should be. Because while sentient rape joke Donald Trump—who lost the popular vote by 2,864,974 votes—tries his hand at presidenting, he’s a temporary gremlin. Misogyny and public policy frequently intersect, and in this sense, Atwood’s story—about the handmaid Offred, whose fertility is used by the state to control her—is depressingly timeless. When Atwood says her story is rooted in a long-extant reality, I believe her.
