You know what it is? Its like the thrill of the chase. Their emotions are sooooo invested in "the chase" that when they finally get what they want they realize life is now boring again and they get depressed. They are not oppressed, civil rights were fought for already, they got what they wanted. But their subconscious doesnt let them internalize this because if its true then they arent being oppressed, their opinions are wrong and just not popular at all. That would send them spiraling into depression, its an internal self preservation mechanism.
Basically it’s about how America turns into an f’d up theocracy and a lot of the “elites” are sterile (I think they say from vaccines, IIRC). So, they have “Handmaids” (women who are known to be fertile) that are basically owned by these elite families and the men have sex with them to try and procreate. They do this w/ the handmaiden lying in between the wife’s legs while the wife holds her arms down to the side and watches her husband having sex w/ the handmaiden to make sure he doesn’t do anything intimate like kissing, etc. Because, ya know, it’s not cheating if your wife is watching and you just do the act w/o any intimacy or feeling. 🙄🤦🏼♀️ There’s more to it than that but that’s the most basic explanation of what it’s about. It’s an extremely messed up book/tv show!!!
Right? It is an extremely disturbing, perverse, and messed up plot line. You’re lucky, I gave you the very condensed and to the point synopsis. 😬😂 I needed ear bleach after listening to my coworker talk about it. 🤦🏼♀️🙉😂
Hmmmm...This sounds analogous to The Handmaid's Tale
Maybe thats what they secretly want.

100% In short, they're unhappy people who invent drama in order to distract them from the normal things in life.
Deep Purple
Fascinating take 👍🏼
Thanks fren
Their whole identity is rooted in being a victim since they badly lack self esteem and self love. A lot of itdue to childhood abuse/neglect
It's their kink.
Fill us culturally challenged in on "the handmaid's tale", woulds't thou?
