Parallel Handmaids tale

Make a parallel between the dystopian world described by Margaret Atwood and today's society

Being able to make a parallel between a dystopian novel where women have no rights,written 30 years ago, and today's society is quite revolting. That tells a lot about our society, because there's nothing good about the way women are treated in the novel. There's constant misogyny, violence towards women, lesbians and gender-traitors are hanged and mainly, women have no power over their body because men have it. The last point is sadly a truth in our society, even more since regressives laws were voted in the United States. The question around abortion is a major topic nowadays and it is appaling that men are the ones taking thesedecisions. In Alabam, it's an entirely male constitute senate that passed an anti-abortion law. Just as in the book, men are in control for those decisions that do not concerns them. In consequence of the law, lots of women protested , and lots of them were wearing the red outfits that the handmaids wear in the book. They wanted to insist on the fact that today's reality slowly starts to look like the one from Margaret Atwoods'novel and remind people that abortion is a human right. Nowadays, women's fight is brought to the fore but still underestimated and disregarder and that, that is a pity because the situation is still critical. If feminist were not there to make things change,to fight against inequalities every day, to support women and help other people left aside, our future could possibly end up being just like in the book.
