"The Handmaid's Tale" hysteria, in short, is simply not serious. There are many things to worry about in the Trump era — personally, I might choose the various nukes bouncing around North Korea, but you can pick your own poison. It's telling, however, that much of the feminist hand-flapping bounces right over Trump, landing on the mild-mannered Mike Pence. "Vice President Mike Pence's refusal to have dinner alone with women who aren't his wife, for example," wrote Sophie Gilbert in The Atlantic, "smacks of the same kind of Puritanism that saw women condemned as witches and harlots just for the virtue of being born female." Well. That escalated quickly.
