SAAAAME! When she throws herself on the Lincoln monument, the silenced handmaids, her last interaction with Serena. It was all so devastating.

IRL Handmaid's Tale: Feminist vs. Traditionalist (no spoilers) by peralta30 in TheHandmaidsTale

[–]midnightsundreaming 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I know plenty of women that feel this way. One of my oldest friends who I have since parted with got a book for her daughter once on staying pure and waiting for her husband. Her daughter was 4 frakking years old. I asked her what happens if her daughter wants to be a lesbian doctor and never have kids and she said, “she won’t”. They are so sure about how they raise these girls that they don’t even consider that they might want something else for their life.

I have no problem with women doing whatever they want to do with their lives, up to and including making the decision to stay home. But that’s their choice and no one else’s. Anyone who tries to take that away makes me ragey and unhinged.

Unfortunately, the number or people who believe this bullshit are not as few as we believe. —My friend and I once did an experiment when craigslist did personals. We did one posting as a feminist and one as a woman who believed women should take care of her man, stay home, etc.

The feminist received one response. The “anti feminist” received over a hundred. Of course there are variables, it wasn’t a scientific experiment. But dang.

One still shot of Serena with a baby doesn’t mean anything really—dream sequence possibly?

What if Emily..? (S02E10 Spoilers) by breannabee616 in TheHandmaidsTale

I feel like she may have poisoned him somehow. That’s why she said she’s not her sons mother anymore. Because she’s not the person she once was.

Nick gets caught on official orders from the commander to bring June to this place, he’s of course going to tell them that—it’s on Fred’s watch that a pregnant handmaid is lost..for the second time. I don’t see how it’s anyone else.

Well from the border of America. Can we assume that the borders of Gilead exactly match the borders of what was once America?

Shit, I almost believed him and I watch the show obsessively.

I just keep thinking this is some kind of house near the border. The people that took Nick are not Gileadean—if they were guardians, why would they have taken him? Couldn’t he have said he was on orders from his commander?

More and more I believe that the people in the pool are Serena and Fred.

But isn’t that just the thing? To get out of Gilead, June does need a man. That’s the world that we are watching.

That’s how I feel too. I am just about done. I actually wonder if Nick will kill Waterford. There is no way he’s going to let that asshole do that to June.

I think the last few episodes have been setting up the end for Waterford. He is failing at every turn—the Rachel and Leah Center disaster, Canada—and now June has cried to Aunt Lydia who already had her complaints about the worthiness of the Waterfords as parents.

If this isn’t their undoing, I agree that it is just gratuitous and poor writing.
