MODERATORS
Given the unholy pairing of fundamentalists who wish to do away with age of consent and the MAGA crowds, this probably isn't too far into satire.
The novel "The Handmaiden's Tale" is literally inspired from real life based from the author's observation of unfolding events in the 20th century, particularly the rise of Iranian theocracy and Islamic fundamentalism in the Middle East and how they treat women. The author fears something could happen in the United States. And her fear is inching closer to happening in the United States.
