It invalidates the rhetorical impact of his claims about feminism (which, if you look carefully, is what I SAID). Hard to take the idea that he holds such a position seriously when his actions contradict it at a fundamental level, so his support for those things for which he advocates most passionately can also be…

A fine person by what standard? He's a virtue-signaling fake feminist who was banging actresses he hired on set and lying to his wife about it, and today runs around issuing unhinged rants calling for the overthrow of the President on Twitter. What does it take to not be fine?

"It’s like a bad after school special in that birthing center, as one woman accuses Dutch of sleeping with Desai to get ahead."

Do Squirrel Nut Zippers and Del Amitri really deserve to be in the frame with Smash Mouth? I think this sneer is being wide-beamed and taking down some relatively innocent victims.

Older people have a lot of memories and not tons of time to tell you about them :)

The criticism of it strikes me as hard-hearted. He's not a fool, but regrets several important decisions.

I'm not "selling" anything; you are free to look up the long history of the slavery-dependent Ottoman empire anywhere you like. Sorry if history doesn't fit whatever narrative you have got in your head, or if you excuse slavery because people you like better than whites are practicing it.

The ignominy prize would go to the North African Ottoman regional slave trade, with more slaves moved in any single 50-year period than the entire history of British and American slavery combined, and cruelty routinely condemned as bad business practice by other African slave traders. This might be of limited…

Unfortunately, slavery has been practiced by all races, so we should probably not judge people by actions taken by those of the same race.

This review kind of makes Otto sound like a bad guy for having shot the tribesmen in the past. But they were *stealing his cattle* and other lines establish that Otto came out clear in whatever court proceedings followed.

There are almost no fundamentalist Christians of the type you describe, hence the need to make some up for this fictional story…whereas you have a selection of Muslim nations where women can be arrested for riding in the front seat of a car. Do you really think all those women DECIDED to follow their holy book THAT…

They decide whether or not to continue episodic coverage based on how much traffic the reviews get. Coverage started because it was the first full-length spinoff of the highest-rated show on TV.

Why does the reviewer think libertarians would be against birth control?

I'm not so sure Alicia would report that guy WAS okay in bed. She didn't look too enthused afterward and he especially had kind of a hangdog expression for the circumstances; for a second, I thought we were about to get a conversation along the lines of "It happens to all guys sometimes…"

About time someone showed up those Breatharians

Not much different except for not being simulated—just the most important possible difference, between illusion and reality.

While you're busy misgendering, why don't you make me?

It'd be an "enormous stretch" to cast a model-pretty type to help sell her appeal in a visual medium? Really? When you yourself just stated there's no detail about her physical appearance in the book? By definition, your argument they'd have reacted to ANY woman the same way is a much greater stretch.

Does anyone in the book really treat her like a plain woman would be treated? Both major male characters developed erotic fascination with her despite her enforced plain garb, etc. and the Commander's wife has her hackles up right off the bat. In a visual medium, it's awfully easy to make that believable by casting…

I found the Commander of the book much more nuanced…the way he seemed to actually want Offred's approval of "what we made" (the new nation). We only found out he had been one of the architects of the nation in the epilogue. The TV version is a leering, moustache-twirling baddie…he doesn't even seem the type who would…
