Been following the Handmaid's Tale. This story takes place in a day and age when fertility rates are dropping on a drastic level and the babies that are born sometimes don't make it. Even then, these women would demand abortion. Just evil.

Funny how “dehumanization” follows 60 years of feminism and women turning into coarse, vulgar creatures with no hint of femininity left. Many women want to compete with men to be the lowest class creatures possible.

These morons have NEVER dread the book, have NO idea when it was written ( 1985 !), and though I refuse to watch this remake series of the original movie, I'm certain that it doesn't stick to the original story and the cast were giving interviews, before the first season was even in the can, about how it was THE TRUMP WORLD. Not a one of these mental midgets understands what they are portraying, nor see/refuse to accept reality!

Easy, they’ll just kill the conservative justices so a left-wing president can replace them. Do you doubt me?

One of the most glaring changes to occur in my lifetime has been the rise of leftist delusions. I actually remember the time when leftists had gripes which could be argued were possibly legitimate when viewed through their lens.

But now they just make things up out of nothing. In an individual these beliefs are termed delusional. Complete fantasy. But when the delusional have a quorum, suddenly it's fact. So what rights are being denied to women? Women have it pretty good in this country, better than the men for the most part, by almost any measure.

Judge Kavenaugh is another focus of delusion. The man has had a straight forward political career without controversy or corruption. And yet to read the media and left wing copy on the guy, you'd think he was Judge Roy Bean, personally hanging innocent defendants at a gibbet in the courthouse parking lot.

The most realistic 2017 example of “Gilead” was ISIS territory.
Boko Haram is a close second.

The world has gone through terrible times but I don’t think it has ever been more demented and just flat out crazy. Everything is backwards.

Their comparison of the lead character being separated from her daughter with illegals sneaking into the country and being temporarily separated from their children is insane.

No, it is the feminists who are dehumanizing themselves.

He’s humanizing those “blobs of cells.”

Perhaps women should keep their knees together and men should keep their pants zipped. You know, like being responsible adults instead of rutting pigs.

I've not seen it, and won't, because I don't want those images in my mind.

But from what I know of it, "The Handmaid’s Tale" is a textbook case of cultural jamming, a tactic akin to one of Alinky's rules, "#13 'Pick the target, freeze it, personalize it, and polarize it.' Cut off the support network and isolate the target from sympathy. Go after people and not institutions; people hurt faster than institutions."

The program paints Christians as oppressors. Because the visual images are so powerful, the gullible actually believe that the oppression depicted in "The Handmaid’s Tale" is mainstream Christianity. This cultural jamming is intended to polarize the nation against Christians and against Republicans.
