It's The Turner Diaries for leftist grils
Cooper Reed
>turner diaries is wish fulfillment for white nationalists in which they hold all the power and execute all their enemies
>the handmaids tale is wish fulfillment for leftist grils in which a totalitarian patriarchy forces them into sex slavery and keeps them as breeding stock
makes me ponder

Islam is more likely to produce her nightmare than Christianity, but that would have been bigoted to write

Probably the best written dystopia I've ever read. I'm going to have to take Atwood's side with what she says about the novel being feminist in the way that females are a crucial aspect to society and what happens to them in the novel is interesting and important, but it's not whiny, or forceful. I didn't see the central character as a raging feminist but a human being in a bad situation. Where was the "wish fulfillment for leftist girls" part? Because although there was sex in weird circumstances, none of it was erotic. Most of all it seems to be about humans interacting with other humans. The Aunts part? Where Atwood explains anyone would jump on the opportunity to have a little power, even if it meant oppressing their fellow humans? The whole thing is a deeply psychological study.

I couldn't sympathise with the protagonist because I found the scenario too arousing.

Nothing wrong with it. It's a good dystopian novel.

Western atheists shit on Islam the second most of any religion and it's the religion that gives itself the second most attention in the west.
They were especially based after 9/11

Muh moral relativism

Extremely shallow, It doesn't go far enough to make anything actually interesting. Probably wouldn't be relevant if it wasn't a required diversity quota read in high school.

>there is no supreme arbiter of morality
>yet morality is objective
get real, there are things you like and things you don't; and then there's your goofy ego trying to impose its will on the rest of society.
I'm a Christian but even I realize that most relationships are best framed in terms of the friend/enemy distinction. I don't cloak my prejudices in faux-righteousness.
Alexander Wright
what if I told you objective morality is real and 100% physical
