A look at feminism through the eyes of a handmaid - The Handmaid's Tale

Are you sure feminism has become threatening? It really seems to be the complete opposite.

Look at the men that participated in gamergate and the men at Donald Trump's campaign rallies in 2016. If you think anyone is intimidated by feminism theses days I would argue that you're misreading it.

Feminism is quite innocuous currently. Do you see it differently?

No, I agree! This is exactly the point I'm trying to make. What I am arguing is that feminism has found new ways to emerge as a movement that encompasses both men and women and is not anymore based on a contraposition between the two genders. This is exactly why feminism has stopped (or is stopping, perhaps?) to be a "threatening" or even "shameful" word, to reach instead its core: which is equal rights for women and men. What I am saying is that this TV series, although very well-directed, stands against these new trends and brings feminism back to the "fight against the man" concept.
