This. It's pretty based for Jewish propoganda.
I understand it's required reading but frankly they mostly reference the equally shitty series.
gee I fucking wonder
Answer: Stronk wimmen (who dont need no man) oppressed by evil white males
Real Answer: It turns them on and larping it in public really gets them hot and bothered.
They am smart then we is
Its the only book they've read other than Harry Potter.
It was written by a jewess and jews hate anything that resembles Christ; even going so far as to not use + symbols in their mathematics because of its resemblance to a cross.
Because Harry Potter is played out
The Left is a product of Jewish media. All of their ideas and references are filtered down to them through Jews in Hollywood and New York (and now Silicon Valley a bit).
Isn't the book based on the iran revolution though?
Dunno, Islam is essentially the same, but they wont critcise that.
because struggle is a foreign concept to minoritywomen for some obnoxious reason
the suggestion that they should work hard to achieve what they want is somehow foreign to them
I specified minority women because white women aren't half as lazy as your average sheboon
I love watching these threads evolve. Someone took this smuggie from the smuggie thread and made it its own thread. I notice topics tend to be posted consecutively as well. Very interesting.
Anyway, leftists can only infantilize shit into pre packaged narratives for them to regurgitate.
what the fuck even is that infograph
>even going so far as to not use + symbols in their mathematics because of its resemblance to a cross.
I'm pretty sure I read the book a while back and IIRC it was because if the few fertile females left weren't constantly knocked up we'd die out.
As I understand it in the telly version the guys are shooting blanks.
So this means that (a) the end of humanity is preferable to luxury whoring (b) if it ever looks like a woman's at fault, that won't last long and (c) TV producers are fucking retarded, if the guys were shooting blanks you'd end up with a society like we have right now, what the fuck.
Because they are pop culture consumeristic npc's, wtf lurk moar, this is common knowledge desu.
Sarcasm as an extreme sport.
Ah, it went right over my head. Guess I dont have a very high IQ
because they are delusional and stupid
Because the right uses 1984 as their weapon of critique
Because Margaret Atwood drew on actual cultural practices, from Puritan America to modern day Afghanistan, to make up her fictional dystopia.
You should change "fundamentalist Christian" to "Islamic"
The difference is one of those is applicable to us and the other applies to the third world.
its true faggot
Same reason why they think they’re part of Dumbledore’s army—they live in a literal fantasy where it’s somehow still 1900.
it was modeled after Islam
I fucking hate this book. I had to read this in highschool instead of all the other actually good books and it’s the most boring shit ever.
maybe they realized that quoting harry potter and star wars would only last so long, so they're trying something "new".
It's true
It's just mixing their smut with their politics. They all want conservative dick and to be dominated by a real man
yes but the real life versions of this stupid book are politically off limits so it has to be fucking a white male.
fucking KIKES
Orwell was a communist faggot
Where do you think "kike" comes from?
he was a socialist, before the USSR, and would have been an ancap if he had lived longer
It's a meme, you dip.
Since when is derivative trash required reading?
And once again Canada leads the way in degenerate cuckoldry.
Since feminism took over the educational system.
Because it’s thinly veiled rape fantasy. They project the fictional story of an imaginary ebil Nazi breeding program into their real lives, and try to convince themselves that they’re actually living in the fantasy world. Which speaks to their subconscious and instinctual need to be “dominated” by an strong man. Also they are literal children, they’re not used to being told “no” and now that people are fed up with their shit, their only defense is to play pretend, and imagine themselves as victims, therefore relieving themselves of any responsibility for the current state of our country.
>book about women being forced to have sex and encouraged to have sex in exchange for freedoms
>somehow banning abortion is the same thing.
It's ironic because the people that freak out over abortion do so because they want to have more unprotected sex with men. Banning abortion should actually lower the pregnancy rate because women should become more cautious about sex.
It's almost like they're saying they don't have any self control and that their vagina and reproductive hormones control their behavior.
Somehow I suspect the wave of estrogen from carrying a pregnancy to term is necessary to fully mature the female brain and turn a girl into a full adult
Yet a Muslim will do the very same thing in real life and they love them for it. Will come a day they will miss the hard work and generosity of the White man.
Parenthood is essential for creating both men and women out of boys and girls respectively. The reason people currently delay parenthood til their thirties is to extend their childhood and they say as much themselves.
Maybe that's why our ancestors were smart enough to limit voting to landed men, which basically synonymous with "dad"
Pro tip: If we actually lived in a theocracy no one would have to deal with their empty headed stupidity.
>But I suffer not a woman to teach, nor to usurp authority over the man, but to be in silence.
This. Protestors got ahold of costumes before the show was released.
because OOGA BOOGA BOOGA DUH CHRISTIANS R TAKIN' OVER ANY SECOND STAY SCARED!
>It turns them on and larping it in public really gets them hot and bothered.
Deep down inside they actually want us to introduce a totalitarian theocracy that puts them in their place. Being put in their place gets them off.
Feminism is just humanties largest shit test.
It's the capitalism of destruction, profiting off the destruction of Western Civilization.
It's like what Soros does with markets.
Well there were a lot of reasons. With power comes responsibility. Fuckwits today have no responsibility but power. This pretty much creates a "rats in the barn" scenario in which immature people are granted limitless privileges while providing nothing back to the host society. Parenthood is a responsibility that most people have selfishly cast off
And now I'm wondering just (((who))) was behind the push to replace BC and AD with BCE and CE in dates?
because actually fighting against real life totalitarianism against woman (aka Islam) makes their libtard brains go into a short circuit
Because its their fantasy to get robed and rape caged.
Why don't true conservatives act as if Gilead isn't absolutely fucking based?
>and he tipped me $2.50
Gets me every time.
A lot of effort to basically say "Harry Potter is only as good as I say it is"
Because it appeals to women, and women are mindless NPCs.
Nah, I'll pass
Because stupid people cannot understand the world unless you boil it down to something palatable for them.
By the end, we're gonna be able to replace every drawing in this picture with photographs.
Not true i know a 50 year old lesbian who supports abortion.
Some people are just simply evil.
That's fine. Just don't complain about liberal whores because you're two sides of the same coin. They couldn't exist without kike shitstains like you.
You ever think about the fact that if we lived in a matriarchy where women did all the hard work and men stayed at home, keeping the house, playing with the kids, and being used as breeding studs, most guys would regard it as paradise on Earth?
In fact, the only reason this hasn't happened is because women are completely incapable of dealing with actual responsibility. They want the trappings and status of responsibility, but not the work that comes with it. What they really want is to move in the same social circles as doctors, lawyers, and scientists, and be treated as equally valuable, not to actually do those things. I think this is how we'll get them in the end. We'll create female exclusive institutions, under the guise of feminism, that provide them with unique and impressive sounding qualifications that actually amount to little more than a glorified secretary (which is essentially what they do already, even when occupying "elite" positions). Social currency will be their compensation. And once we get them back into their proper role, they'll eventually relinquish their own right to vote.
No, it wouldnt be paradise for men because we are hard wired to constantly be doing something productive and creative.
>praxeology.net
Yeah. They prey on primal fears (for women being forced to breed with an unworthy male is a primal fear).
But what they use this fear for is merely to garner control. Its the power of nightmares desu.
>we are hard wired to constantly be doing something productive and creative.
I know. I had a stay-at-home dad and he was constantly working on some project or other. He built me a tree house, tended to our vast vegetable and flower garden, engaged in constant home improvements, lifted weights, volunteered in the community, etc. Your average housewife eats garbage and watches television all day, not even spending quality time with her kids, then complains about how she gave up her career for this. They don't know how good they've got it.
Can you explain this? This is a novel about a preacher and his dad, no?
Basically liberals are constantly hunting those not roeing the party line. They do this among their opponents, but also among themselves (hence the expression "the left always eats its own"). By calling out their friends, they're seen as being more righteous and concerned for the strength of the movement above all else. It's similar to communist countries encouraging neighbours to spy on one another; you're showing that you value the cause above community, above friendship, above family, faith, or any other competing values or interests. So they have to be careful with what they say, because their "allies" will turn on them faster than a pack of starved rats if they say the wrong thing. They gravitate to pre packaged messages because it's a cultural touchstone people understand without them needing to explain anything. If they had to offer their own thoughts, they'd be taking a risk of being called out for it, and why take a risk when you don't have to? This plays right into the hands of a centralized mass media; just spit out a half dozen opinions on any given topic, and that's all the diversity of thought these people need.
That's why sites like Jow Forums are so important. 99% of what is said here is utter shit, but the fact that people are free to say what they actually think, no strings attached, is the last outlet for actual expression.
why the fuck is it required reading who told you that
Nice, that sounds pretty cool actually. Women used to be more engaged, but never like that. They would just care for the house, work on some woman's project like some "gardening" or sewing or whatever, and be active in the community, but more in a way of social organization rather than production. Wonder how they turned into such lazy slobs
brilliant user
>Why does the left uses the "handmaid's tale" as their weapon of critique against conservatives?
the show isn't the weapon, the people getting brainwashed by that show are the weapons
imagine being THAT butthurt over one person 2000 years ago
>men stayed at home, keeping the house, playing with the kids, and being used as breeding studs, most guys would regard it as paradise on Earth?
No they wouldn't. Just this weekend I asked my husband to put groceries away while I nursed the baby, he accidentally broke a plate I was using as a bowl cover, got extremely flustered.
"Why don't you use a plastic lid."
"You haven't bought me bowls with plastic lids."
"Yes I have"
*points to lid for the salad spinner*
Men are horrible with house work and child rearing. Sorry.
>Wonder how they turned into such lazy slobs
Combination of
1) prepackaged foods, takeout, etc
2) labor saving devices
3) professionalization of charity work
4) public education
Well put, my Leafy friend
Yet they are too fucking indoctrinated to see that they are low-key islamaphobic.
Racism against i*lam
They're so butthurt because He is eternal, even after all this time
Flavor of the day
They use other references when needed. Harry potter and star wars for example.
Because the series also represents the future of the mutted, balkanized, and islamified west, where polygamy is normal. They wear these clothes because they'd love to be raped to birth, and be part of a harem and live comfortable life. Otherwise they would not use it as a protest against monogamous conservatives.
The 'I am God' woman was seen standing on a church altar lately. Forgot to save it though.
This does not reflect my experiences, nor those of my relatives. My uncle got married several years ago. His wife does not cook, nor does she do dishes. He does both. She also does not have a job, while he works full-time as a lawyer. She doesn't do yard work or property maintenance. He does both, no only for his own house, but also for my grandparents' cottage. However, she has a highly detailed knowledge of his daughter's favourite television shows because she sits there watching them while munching on snack foods. As I mentioned earlier in the thread, I had a stay-at-home father, who was great. My mom was actually good as well, but she didn't aspire to some prestige career, content with the inherently nurturing role of school teacher.
And, to illustrate the point that I made earlier about women's careers, before she got married, my uncle's wife worked in a publishing house. This is a good example of the sort of career that women select for themselves because it put her in close proximity to the institutions of power without actually producing anything. It's the same impulse that has driven women towards journalism over the past several decades, resulting in a vast oversaturation of labour, willing to work for next to nothing and producing just as much. It's not passion for the career itself that drives them. And women don't need to worry about being judged for their precarious economic position because there is always a man willing to provide. What drives them is the social prestige of the position itself. They want to be journalists without actually engaging in the work of journalism. And so, as much as they were our enemies before, the profession of journalism has undergone a sweeping internal degradation, making its political agenda far easier to oppose. It's all dress-up to them.
Creating a mythical counter-reality to inhabit, as a gambit to forward their fight against the fictional wage gap and the supposed underrepresentation of women in a few high-prestige professions.
She just wants to appeal to young women.
I'm liking these leaf posts.
I wish someone would replace th Hollywood sign. With pedowood. It wouldn't take long, just some plywood signs amdpnd some tools would do the job.Shit would be hilarious plus it's not even guarded
Its critically acclaimed strawman
