It’s weird Handmaid’s Tale was critically acclaimed, but we also have tradwife/cottagecore propaganda trying do deliberately transition into Handmaid’s Tale.

That is because although you might hate it, the modern single independent women's life is a fate even worse then the one described in Handmaid's tale.

@LukeAlmighty Have you even seen it? Also do you live in a country with basic human rights? This is such an absurd statement it borders on parody. In Handmaid’s Tale they not only don’t have freedom of speech, they can’t even talk to their peers at all.

Ok, I will take a look at it, but I was saying it might be qorth it to compare this fate with 2 most common current day alternatives.

1) single moms on wellfare who have no man of value in their life, and their kids remind them of some random thig.

2) career women, who in 40s realize they are no longer fertile.

When you fall into these scenarios, I can see why living under a tyrany might seem like a good choice.
