Alright, I’ll do it. I’ll reply to fucking butterfly.
“Fiction” isn’t an argument for writing nonsense. The point clearly isn’t that Atwood’s story is not true, it’s that it’s impossible to believe it. The dystopian government suddenly appearing isn’t justified in any way, just explained away with “falling birth rates” and the author’s personal feelings about a single line from the Old Testament.
It’s not like we’re criticizing Shakespeare for writing about ghosts and witches, so maybe you should get off your high horse, cut down on the smug pics and try to have an honest discussion for a change?
