"The Handmaid's Tale" takes inspiration from the Salem witch trials and the demonizing, threatening, and even killing of innocent women that took place during that time.

Feminists who didn’t say a word against ham*s war crimes and SA of women and girls are a disgrace for the movement.

The author herself has stated it was based on western society and 18th century Puritanism. She wrote it during the raise of Christian nationalism in the 80s.

The author said it was based on events from the Iranian revolution and also pulled from other movements/events where totalitarianism was a factor.

She also explicitly linked forced to reproduction to slavery in America. The slave masters frequently fathered children by graping their slaves. Those same masters used the Bible to defense slavery and the subjugation of “the children of ham“

Just like the show about a white murder teen who actually was black in reality.

Weird because the Author herself, Atwood, has compared Gilead to current political climates in the US caused by the right. And the man that plays Lawerence? He said in an interview the shows a warning. And both respect each other

Atwood and modern feminists have clashed a bit

Handmaid's Tale was inspired by Puritan New England, USSR, Germany (1933-1945) and Iran. So yes, it's about Christianity too.

every single person knows that. it was taken from multiple global cultures and their oppression of women in general. Margaret Atwood also spoke out about what's happening in America right now

Becca G✝️🇺🇲 :
Hollywood tried so hard tp throw us off the scent though. They actually wrote a Muslim man into the show, trying to help her in 1 episode. 🙄

This is not a gotcha at all 💀💀 this could be about any forms of religious fundamentalism which did happen in Iran but Christianity is not immune too it plenty of Christians want something similar to that

Even if they did, they wouldn’t acknowledge that- doesn’t fit their narrative

Let’s ask the author! She is still alive. Interestingly, in the original book, Atwood describes a nation that has purged everyone but white people. But, please, continue.

This is so false she got little inspiration from Sharia Law but most of it came from the United States 80s political system but it's very scary to see how the president talks now about women shouldn't go to college and ending all DEI programs
