Tbh the handmaid's tale makes 0 fucking sense and it's just liberal feminism lunacy. Probably the most unrealistic dystopia ever written at least on a whaman losing human's rights perspective
@RikaDerufu have you read it or did you just watch the show?
@RikaDerufu worth noting

@jeffcliff @RikaDerufu It doesn't need the government's permission because BoC is part of the Canadian government.
@xianc78 @RikaDerufu i mean *our* use of money without the government's permission
also the BoC is at arms length, it's probably more accurate to say that the canadian government is part of a system of management that includes the BoC where there's a modicum of oversight in that the head of it can be appointed or removed

If I want to go out and buy a fleshlight, legally, I can do this. I could order one online, I can go to the sex shop, I can buy a used one from a friend, or I could buy the materials needed to make one.
I don't need the government's permission to do any of this.
