Alceste, whether on this topic or any other commented upon by G&M readers, your comments typically comprise condescendingly pseudo-intellectual legalese whereby you  pontificate unremittingly from an SJW perspective, appearing much of the time to take a perverse delight from simply trollingly disagreeing on any given topic.  In short, the overall effect is to characterize yourself as a sour old windbag full of sound and fury signifying nothing. As for Atwood's novel, it is mediocre and preys upon small, middlebrow minds like yours in an attempt to deflect attention from the real hypocrisies and contradictions of the feminist movement in the West in particular and the defamatory lies and political strategies of old-school Marxist Lefties in general as they practice the arcane art of 'dialectics'. Your contributions are tiresome, over-abundant and seemingly never censored - though often sharply disagreeable, even uncivil to your fellow contributors. The dream is over gasbag.
