Have a cup of coffee before you write your opinion piece. This one reads like a stream of consciousness thought process. How exactly does the treatment of women in Saudi Arabia, given likely regressive, share similarities with those women in the Handmaid's Tale? Are the poor sterilized? Are the "best" chosen for the wealthy for breeding purposes, even if a suitable class wife already exists? Are the children taken from their mothers? I would like to know, since you raised it.
Then the genital mutilation bit. What does that have to do with the Handmaid's Tale? Healthcare professionals in Canada have seen immigrants having had this procedure done in their homeland. The medical Colleges have strict rules for MDs on repair after delivery and education of new families. This is less of an issue now than 20 years ago. Returning to their homeland to have the procedure remains an issue of education.
