Calexit can't happen soon enough.

obligatory

How is posting screencaps of triggered people funny when you're more triggered than any of them?

...

how is it even that depressing? I mean 1984 is High School tier and it 10x more depressing and bleak

I'd hate to think how these people would react to House of Dolls

Don't know if you are an assblasted conservative or an assblasted liberal but Calexit is dead, and it isn't coming back.

Fuck yeah.

Lazy 'wikipedia' feminists not known for their intellectual honesty are being badly caught out because they heard it was supposed to be feminist but hadn't actually read it themselves. Expecting journalists to actually read books is apparently unreasonable in 2017.

Someone who is familiar with the text shakes her head:

Oops.

TLDR; Its not timely because of Trump, its timely because of 'progressives' unthinkingly allying themselves with regressive religions around causes like banning pornography.

What Atwood is saying is be really fucking careful giving them power if you think they'll stop at the point of your common interests.

Seeing some howling on Twitter as they're slowing figuring this out.

Man I love Bob's Burgers

It doesn't try to do anything except be lighthearted fun, and the characters are both likeable and relatable

And it doesn't try to follow any agendas or make any points, just be good to your family, be nice to people

I'm going to watch some Bob's Burgers right now!

DON'T USE REDDITSPACING WHEN TALKING ABUT BOB'S BURGERS, IT'S A GOOOD SHOW!!!!!!

Why is it reddit spacing?

I just feeling like paragraphs look bunched up and weird

They're separate statements, there's literally no reason why a new line is any less valid than a full stop

please quit using such divisive language

Is this show an anti Sunni parable?

don't think this guy read the book, one of the most interesting aspects is its interrogation of feminism - the handmaid's tale is a world where women are ruled by men and yet the safest they have ever been, a world where women repress other women more than any man does.

I just posted and just want to echo this again. Anyone who claims The Handmaid's Tale is a standard Feminist text either has not read it or does not understand what Feminism is.

bb is steven universe tier garbage

I love Norm, but I think he has problems reading literature that's not of the so called "realist" aesthetics.

It's one of the things that frustrates me about a lot of talented people (especially those who use twitter). Just because they are very talented/knowledge in one area they think they are similarly informed in other areas.

>does not understand what Feminism is.
Female supremacy

Based Norm

I fucking hate people who describe the book as 'timely' and 'frighteningly real'.

If someone tried to implement the system they have in real life, there would be a revolution in weeks by men denied access to pussy. Societies which restrict men's access to women inevitably fall because keeping low status men have no investment in society and no self interest in preserving it. This isn't a slight against the book itself because it's not meant to be a realistic portrait of a dystopia but rather a character study where you aren't meant to take the actual setting particularly seriously.

Under His eye, my fellow faithful.

They're literally nothing alike though?

The only memy part of Bob's Burgers is Gene

If Gene died the show would be much bettr

What does this mean

the absolute madman

T I M E L Y K I N O

Breddy gud bait

God I hope so.

It's just an 8, user. Nothing more than an 8. Don't think about it.

I don't understand why did they make the commander and his wife younger. Why is almost everyone in this show look so okay

bump

Fucking moron. The Handmaiden's Tale is borrows heavily from Islam.

Yes, now keep going you can get there sweetie.
