Is there TERF shit in HT? I read it in highschool during my nu-atheist phase and my takeaway was "Christianity = misogyny," but since I was 16 or whatever I easily coulda missed a lot.
Handmaid's Tale begins in the book by doing away with all black people by calling them the " Children of Ham " who have been relocated to concentration camps in the Midwest, and then proceeds to tell none of their story.
As it is written it is a second wave white feminism story that completely erases black people. Black women are just not good enough to be in Atwood's concern bubble, even though they suffer worse fates than the white characters they get less than a paragraph in the entire book.
Don't get me started on "political lesbianism" which came out of second-wave feminism. Literally straight women swearing off men and being gross about it, has def done a lot of harm to public perception of and stereotypes about actual lesbians lol. I hate it so much

MA came out as a terf yesterday, I've heard tell.
Well shit, Oryx and Crake out of my "fiction that I want to read if I can gather the focus to do anything worthwhile" list I guess.
And nothing of value was lost
:purge-2:
I kinda just thought she was, so it's cool I just envisioned correct reality with no evidence.
Same tbh, before I was just going off of "second wave feminism has produced a lot of terfs and absolutely nothing of value"
White CIS women got into positions of power and then kicked away the ladder.
