I want to like the independent, but this is clearly an advert disguised as research. They don’t even give any citations or mention a survey company to look at the results further – have 56% of the entire UK population even seen/read the Handmaids Tale, let alone drawn parallels to our current society? All I can see is that they have typoed 1500 survey respondents to 1,5000.

I wondered why there was this random woman in red lurking around my place who kept saying „Blessed be the fruit“.

As in, takes too long to come out, the best years have gone and we’re just waiting for it to end?
(That’s a joke, I’ve never watched it)

If it was an emergency ’spiralling out of control‘ then you’d think they at least provide a source other than just ‚channel 4 research‘.

Only a handful of people know what the Handmaid’s Tale is about, and if they had any sense they quit the TV series after season 1

I went to a talk given by Margaret Atwood about 8 years ago and she thought her book was coming true.

In America, perhaps. They’re dangerously close to married women no longer being able to vote and that’s really just the tip of the iceberg for their Project 2025 manifesto.

Jesus, this article is all over the place. Its probably a press release for the new series of handmaid’s tale which I have just learned is on the telly, but 56% of the population using it as a reference still seems improbable.
Just for posterity…

Might have to take those numbers with a pinch of salt.

In Trump’s America definitely. Not over here unless the moronic vote in reform next election, I could see it then.

I always did think some people watched this as victimhood porn. One hand on their oversized glass of wine, the other down their pants.

We have an infertility problem but it’s not to the point where dozens of children are born per year. We don’t have any religious cults running around with the potential to decapitate parliament.
Nobody is calling for women to lose the ability to travel unaccompanied, or own bank accounts or hold jobs.

Seems like it’s obvious left wing fear mongering for the online sort to lap up. Not sure what reality it mirrors of than some right wing hysteria.

And yet reform will still probably win the next election. We get the leaders we deserve I guess.

I think it’s more likely a bunch of horndogs are getting off on the idea of being forced breeders.

The last lot pushed for a vaccine mandate and therefore social segregation… an extremity of leftism not seen since the 1930s

British media and „The World is getting more dangerous for Women“ narrative, name a more popular combination
I guess they’ve brainwashed enough people who’ll subscribe to the storyline and click any article associated to that narrative whether it’s true or not

Fun fact: 90% of people who reference „The Handmaids Tale“ have very little idea what it’s all about. Also 82% of all internet stats are made up.

I don’t think it’s true over here but moreso in America with repealing Roe Vs Wade, curbing women’s rights to healthcare, looking to end no-fault divorce and electing a man found civilly liable for rape.

Pretty sure the majority of Brits haven’t read or seen the Handmaid’s Tale.
