Um, have you guys uh read or seen Hand A Handmaid's Tale? I have. It's a good book. So, I've not I tried watching the show a little bit, but I didn't care. I didn't read it. But what I've heard a lot from feminists, and I'm not sure this accurately portrays the book, is that it's basically women are forced to have babies for their country. But my understanding is that the story is about a post-apocalyptic America and a collapsing birth rate and humans facing extinction. So, the book is really good. The TV show's not, which is sad. And it's about, it was written in the '9s, and it's about a world where due to some failing of industrial chemical processing, the vast majority of women are infertile. And so, in order to solve the population crisis, religious conservatives launch a coup. And then they they basically force women into sex slavery. And so that's the thesis where the main character, the handmmaid, she is one of the polygamous wives of the ruling of one of the ruling nobility of this state called Gilead. It's based in the suburbs of Boston.
The host asks if the guests have read or seen 'The Handmaid's Tale', and they discuss the book's plot and themes related to a collapsing birth rate and forced procreation.
