The funny part is, the fearmongering aspect is definitely meant to send an emotional argument to other women, but it's also a thrilling idea for themselves.

In the same way people will go to haunted house productions you see pop up during Halloween, these women can safely flirt with danger, comfy pajama pants on and rose in hand, without ever actually being in any real danger at all. It's effectively fear-porn, and "The Handmaid's Tale" allows for a voyeuristic dread of losing their agency, but one you can pause or turn off and walk away from.

These same women will watch the show, agree with each other that they're totally under this threat, then go vote, drive a car, buy things with their own credit cards, and celebrate another day as a single, childless, career woman with girl-power.

Not that there isn't a form of very real anxiety there to fuel this kind of thinking. These women have bought into the feminist lie that happiness only comes through selfishness, and what these women really, truly fear is obligation to something other than themselves. They've been told all their lives that motherhood is slavery, that being a wife is slavery, that having to keep a home is slavery, and feminism has told them that this is what traditionalists want to bring women back to. //

But the grave hypocrisy in all of this is that many of these women still want to have the husband, the children, and the comfortable lifestyle, and they have these things without ever truly being ready to fully commit themselves to it all. They still go to work, and here's the kicker, they outsource their childcare to lower-class women, often immigrants.

And they see no irony in this. //

And here's where you can truly understand the performative nature of these protesters in red. These women watch the show then protest against a scenario that will never come here in America, then totally ignore that actual "Handmaid's Tale" happening in places where Sharia is the law of the land. For women concerned about keeping the patriarchy at bay for themselves and their sisters, they seem to have no interest in traveling into Islamic countries to don their robes and protest there?

Why? Because that actually would be dangerous. There, they very well could be snatched up, reduced to chattel, and used as breeding tools... and not even by the elite. They'd just be giving birth to more cannon fodder for terrorist organizations.

You won't even see them doing these kinds of demonstrations outside mosques here in America, because that would imply they're intolerant or racist, and nothing would horrify a leftist white woman more than being accused of that! //

You hit this out of the park, Mr. Morse.

It's been said before but it can never be said too often but the greatest threat to America is Affluent, White, Female, Urban Liberals. They live a life few in this world, or even in America, could dream of. They have no real problems so they have to make up "danger" in their lives so they can feel validated.

If we're lucky, they won't find anyone who will lower themselves to procreate with them and their narcissistic sanctimony will just disappear.
