Margaret Atwood's dark fantasy, "The Handmaid's Tale", is an opportunistic grab at the low hanging fruit.

When Margaret Atwood, a prototypical Canadian feminist and anti-Christian bigot, published her dystopian novel "The Handmaid's Tale", in 1985, she of course went for the low hanging fruit, in her attacks upon patriarchal society. The patriarchal villains of her novel were Christian (or at least Christian like); Christians always being an easy and politically correct target in post-modern North America. Being a Western feminist she studiously avoided criticizing Muslims and Muslim society, even though the daily reality for women in places like Saudi Arabia, was much more reflective of the harsh, male dominated dystopia she was writing about. Like all Leftists Atwood avoided any criticism which would allow anyone to tag her with being 'Islamophobic' or whatever other politically correct, made up word, was in circulation at the time. Margaret Atwood, your craven hypocrisy precedes you. https://www.nytimes.com/2017/05/24/opinion/why-saudi-women-are-literally-living-the-handmaids-tale.html?smid=fb-share
