Where “some” women (the ones that are still fertile) are considered nothing but breeding machines and are ritually raped by high-status men in order to bear children for their infertile Wife (who wear blue). Handmaids wear red. Technically, Flo is probably a Martha (lower-rank, infertile women who do the domestic tasks) and should be in green. She might be an Aunt, who would wear brown, and who are tasked with training Handmaids. Yes, it’s a very dystopian society.
Is the first panel true? Serious question looking for honest responses. I know that the newspaper is held responsible if they write something false or misleading. But if I send in a false and misleading piece to the Letters to the Editors column, is the newspaper held responsible? I thought that that was the whole reason that you couldn’t hold Facebook et al responsible… they are providing a platform, but not the content, as opposed to a newspaper, that is dedicated to providing content.
I was in an elevator listening to some Muzak when it slowly dawned on me that it was “Stairway to Heaven”! Yes, the extremely long Led Zepplin song, in Muzak format! That was surreal
Does anyone know how old Danae and Kate are? And whatever happened with the two young women that their dad was sort-of dating? I know that one supposedly got engaged to some other guy she met, but never saw anything after that, so I don’t know if I should expect a sudden revelation on dad’s part or what.
