A Goodreads user asked this question about The Handmaid’s Tale (The Handmaid's Tale, #1):
Do you wish Gilead would come true?
Kim Do I want to be raped and forced to bear children!?
Do I want my every move to be supervised and chaperoned?
Do I want my freedom taken away?
Do I want t…more
Do I want to be raped and forced to bear children!?
Do I want my every move to be supervised and chaperoned?
Do I want my freedom taken away?
Do I want to lose my basic rights?
Do I want to lose the ability to read, write and think for myself?
And if I don't agree with the religion be sent away to a concentration camp!?!

"Oh no. Oh no. Oh no no no no!!!" Hard pass! I really prefer to keep my basic human rights and freedom, thank you very much. I have no desire whatsoever to be a slave to anyone, and I definitely do not want to bear children. (less)
