I actually think one part of the handmaid's tale is neglected when y'all bring it up. Maybe it's not in the show and some of y'all just ain't read the book idk.
But a big part of the book for me is that her boyfriend is basically like "do you not trust me to take care of you?" "I wouldn't do such and such to you" and doesn't really trust her intuition and kinda waves away her fear with "I'll protect you" type shit. He doesn't separate her view of her oppression from her view of him. He cares more about how she feels about him than he cares about her being her own free person.
And then he fails to protect her.
Mimi Reinhard was being held at a Nazi concentration camp near Krakow, Poland, in 1944, but because she spoke flawless German and could take shorthand, she was allowed to work in the camp office. One of her jobs was to compile a list of Jewish prisoners working in factories owned by industrialist Oskar Schindler.
Mrs. Reinhard, then known as Carmen Weitmann, typed the names of more than 1,000 Jewish people — including her own and those of two friends — to create what became known as “c.” She called herself a “schreibkraft,” or typist.
“The only practical thing in my life that I learned was shorthand, but I never learned to type,” Mrs. Reinhard told the New York Times in 2007. “I typed with two fingers only.”
As a result, she and more than 1,000 other Jews were saved from near-certain annihilation in the Nazi death camps of World War II.

May her memory be a blessing.
found an incredible resource that will be extremely useful for us in many ways
https://retractionwatch.com/
it tracks studies that are retracted, altered, corrected, etc. because nowadays, the majority of studies that come out are completely unreproducible, and within that, many are legitimately incorrect/misleading, but all the hype was on the release of the study, and virtually none on the retraction, so people still believe it’s true. so, if you see studies around, it’s useful to plug them into this. think of it like snopes for scientific papers.
Men are such entitled little freaks (and yes, of course the replies are full of men saying they don’t believe her, or “there’s two sides to every story”, or straight up making jokes).
why are males never dysphoric about the way they treat/think/act about women

Why are TRAs so ignorant to actual gay history? Why are they so instant on q*eer having never been a slur or being ‘fully reclaimed’? Why do they think that people saying ‘hey I don’t like being called this slur so can we stop using it to label the entire community/me’ is such a bad thing? Why are you all about ‘respecting other people’s identities’ until it comes to them not wanting to identify with a fucking slur?
i stop being attracted to someone once i learn they have a gender identity
