ANNALS OF FEMINIST AUTOPHAGY: The Handmaid’s Tale Author Margaret Atwood Accused of Crimes Against Feminism for Defending Due Process. “In the first year of the Trump presidency, the Hulu television series The Handmaid’s Tale—which concerns a dystopian future U.S. where totalitarian religious authorities subjugate women—became essential #Resistance viewing. Many saw parallels between the treatment of women within the universe of the show and President Trump’s alleged history of abusive behavior. One might expect, Margaret Atwood, the author of the source material—the 1985 novel of the same name—would be considered something of a feminist hero. But now Atwood must counter charges that she is actually a ‘bad feminist,’ because she thinks the University of British Columbia denied due process to a male professor accused of sexual misconduct.”

No one is ever pure enough for The Revolution. Or The #Resistance. The question is, seeing how these people act when they’re out of power, why would we ever want to let them into power?
