Why exactly are women so obsessed with this book?

women stan for women. see, even stan is a made up woman word to signal their in-group preference. they stan for the vaginal imperative.

It foreshadows what reactionaries and religious extremists will do if they seize power. It is also an masterful piece of art, an exhibit in storytelling and prose. Its received multiple awards and the status of a living classic, which irrates rightoids.

The only religioners who'd do that shit are Muslims, and even then the societal structure is too autistically organized for their taste. Cucked Christians would never have the balls to put women in their place. They'd just send their kids to drag queen story hour instead.

Handmaid's tale isn't about gender equality you stupid fuck. It is about gender war. In all four modes of the novel: pre-revolution; post-revolution; underground/"elite playground" and post-revolution gender is structured as warfare.

Jesus fuck: actually learn the history of gendered literature in late modernity. Lesbians want to crush your balls you nazi fuck.

Fun fact: Jesus and explicitly Christian themes are not mentioned once in The Handmaid's Tale. In fact, the only biblical quotes referenced come from the OT. All the customs and practises in the novel are jewish. The book is an accidental and thinly veiled criticism of jewish fundamentalism.

I almost take it as women are so privileged and first class citizens, that something that shows an oppressive fantasy where they are the victims is something they cling to; because it never actually really happens. Not to say that women have always been like this, but the modern woman is so
above anyone else in history that they cling to any sense of victimization.

Atwood's M.O. is self-promotion via cultural trends. She pumps out hot takes (for midwits) using fashionable '-isms' she picked up in grad school.

Her writing is characterized by clear prose and focus; this adds to her appeal (i.e. her work is digestible). However, her talent is constrained by the fact that she has no real depth of thought.

Margaret Atwood is basically Ayn Rand for liberals.
