It's just a thinly-veiled version of Iran / Afghanistan

Handmaiden's Tale is just veiled erotica for women. It's just a subtler version of Fifty Shades of Grey.

"The Taliban, but Christian" is basically what Christian Europe was like for over a thousand years. Didn't seem that bad.

I want to live in a society where foot whipping is used for corporal punishment and I want to administer it

Man I'd actually find love there.

>>24726943
lmao only a virgin could come up with this take

>>24727145
lmao only a woman would click on this thread and call someone a virgin

>>24727139
You wouldn’t find love, you’d find a woman that would have no option but to listen to you. If you consider “love” as another person being coerced by every force in society to tolerate you, then that’s very sad anon

>>24727155
Your pity will be in vain.

>>24727155
what? nonsensical argument
which freedoms do you need to remove before love isnt possible? or add to make it possible?
do you mean that it was impossible for a woman before 1970 or so (only in usa, mind you) to love a man because somehow they were "coerced by every force" to somehow be with a man?
do you think a man could love a woman? can you expand on your idea?

>>24727155
People pair bond when they‘re paired young. Women can‘t fall in love after 25 at the latest.

>>24727170
I think love could exist in times when women had little to no choice in the matter, but it was undoubtably rarer.

And my point regarding coercion was that as a young woman in most societies before the development of women’s rights, society at every level would create situations where they could not live without being part of a man’s household. They couldn’t own property, had less legal protections, and had a legitimate fear of rape/enslavement if they had no male relatives or spouses. I think you’d have to arguing from a position of bad faith to not recognize that women for most of history, were in a position, where they often had to marry, even if they didn’t want to. And while you can argue that they might grow to accept their situation, I don’t think most people would consider that love, anymore than a prisoner making the best of a life sentence, is free.

Could people find love in these times? Absolutely, we have diaries and journals from people that demonstrate genuine care for their spouses, but when the underlying societal principles at the time were “get married, or else”, it’s fair to at least consider that a good deal of people weren’t enthused about it.

What worries me about what you said anon, is that you’d find love in this time period. You could find love now if you tried. If you think people owe you their affection, they won’t give it to you

>>24727177
And this is just nonsense Yes, people form strong emotional bonds when they’re around others at a young age. It’s why you’d love your adoptive parents more than your biological ones if you’d never met the latter until you were grown. But relationships can develop at any point in your life, that’s like saying you can’t have close friendships after a given age.

>>24727202
Yeah because women don't know what love is so it must be imprinted on them a la Tabula Rasa.

Maybe dystopian societies are trully some retarded BDSM fantasy from the author.

>>24727241
I’m sorry you feel that way anon, because if that’s the approach you have to love, I’m afraid you’re going to be lonely for a long time

I wish it was like that in real life, no memes or irony. Everyone would be happier, we’re just brainwashed to think it’s bad

lmao fucking bitch. go back to hollywood
