‘The Handmaiden’s Tale’ becoming reality

-

Women’s rights and advances of the last 50 years are being squashed by allmen Republican legislativ­e bodies all over the country.

The Me-Too Movement of late demands boundaries from men related to unwanted touching or similar uninvited, intrusive behavior.

Yet men in government are putting their legislativ­e hands all over women’s bodies with mandated pregnancy, not even excepting pregnancy by rape or incest.

Let’s flush the Me-Too Movement down the toilet and put a tattoo on women’s foreheads - “Brood Mare”.

However, women don’t get pregnant by themselves. If pregnancy is now going to be mandated, then all the “Y” chromosome progenitor­s of the nation better be mandated equally by law to provide 18 years of money, support, time, shelter, which that child requires to grow and thrive. Otherwise, just outlaw sex outright, then nobody will be a felon.

Margaret Atwood’s, “The Handmaiden’s Tale,” is becoming a reality.
